Battlefields
Before Deployment Ends
We’re in battle, looking at hurt
every day,
looking at the devil
every day,
looking at loss,
and despair,
and more tunnel,
every day!
What do I want to do
before this
deployment ends,
you ask?
I want to suck
the juice out of
every day
I still have
in this body
and not regret I
lived it
like I used to
so many times
when I was young.
I want to dare
the things I don’t
deserve,
the things I didn’t earn,
that outrage the righteous.
I want to laugh in
the face of the dirty
swollen hypocrites,
and dull wits,
and see them brought to
their knees,
and then glide over it all
not caring,
like a self-involved
butterfly,
preening itself.
Are you
with me
so far?
Gone
I’m hurting,
I’m broken,
I’m fighting alone.
Who is it I’m fighting,
I don’t even know!
I live by the rules of a world that I left.
I wade in a river that’s now a dry bed.
I wish I could startle a hope or a thought
that tells me my efforts aren’t always for naught.
I wish I could think of a plan that’s worth haste!
I wish that my life wasn’t all meant to waste!
I don’t want your reasons,
I don’t want your truth,
I don’t want to know why I’m never worth good,
I can’t bear your brush-offs,
your threats and your lies!
I want to be thriving!
I want to be fine!
I’ll find my wild path and I’ll follow it home.
I’ll live in such thoughts that no mortal can hold.
I’ll find myself ways to defeat all this grief.
I’ll dare all the strange things
that challenge belief.
I’ll act out in ways that are too fast to see,
too simple,
too complex,
too different for thee!
I’ll be in my realm where I’m happy and free,
away from your ugly that’s smothering me.
I don’t know why I never fit in your
