The wounded isn't as weak as you perceive The wounds are just an evidence Of the battles fought gallantly Of undying courage and perseverance A brave show of resilience When faced with crippling tragedies The wounded knows how it feels To push through searing pain When bruised skin burns And the night forgets to end The wounded knows the agony Of silent screams and voiceless aches Invisible to the naked eye A cause of further torment But a wounded won't ever Drown in the waves Of treachery and deceit His actions are marked by prudence He's turned wary and vigilant The wounded is a survivor He dares to hope tirelessly Don't mistake him as an injured minion His scars are a testimony of his strength
