support

Don’t support me

All I need is to not be torn down

Don’t feel obligated 

just adopt  the mentality 

of  doing  no harm 

You think I need so much

because that gives you a reason 

to exits, to plow onward, to control

when all I really need

is to be left as I am 

and isn’t that the hardest 

thing anyone can ask of you? 

Sisters

We talk about the weathered map

that only we have traveled

and there’s a comradre in that

though you took different roads

we started at the same point

a point where no one else has

traversed, or set up camp

now we aid each other in ascertaining

what it all means or doesn’t mean

round and round we banter

finally lighting a match,  looking on

as the paper turns from brown to black

having decided  it all must burn

to ever really begin…

Altered

I am altered but not broken 

a soldier on the mend

never to return to the battlefield 

with the exact vigor I once wielded

but inevitably returning

And I will have war stories 

to tell the youthful ones

who take on the enemy 

with unfettered fervor

that I too once wore 

I will drag them from the foxholes

tend to their wounds

and aid them in becoming

altered but not broken
