A Weary Warrior

A Weary Warrior
By R.e. Taylor

His sword lays on the ground
He has been a warrior all his life
Fighting so many battles
But never attaining anything
He has tried to improve his life
But there was always another obstacle
Still he kept fighting
He never gave up the fight
Finally, his mind has given up on him
His body could no longer rise to fight
Still, he lived the way he thought he should
Now his battles are over
His wars are finished
And now is his time to rest

Reminds me of Achilles in the movie, Troy!
