Combat
violence around every corner.
fight.
fight everyday.
everyday another battle.
all day everyday.
all hours be ready.
sleep with one eye open.
combat.
endless combat.
tired.
so tired.
so much fighting.
so much hurt.
physical damage.
emotional damage.
does the fight ever end?
will i ever find peace?
peace.
peace i so long for.
will i ever rest?
how do i live?
live normally after such violence?
after the combat.
