Rob Abnernathie Poet Free verse

Surrender

Surrender

I have fought battles in my mind
Such destruction the world has ever known

I have slain thousands attacking 
Me in my dreams

I have waded through trenches
Of fire burning in my soul

I have endured the pain and 
Suffering in my heart

It’s been to long my spirits been at war

I lay down the sword
Take off the armor

I FIGHT NO MORE

Beata Agustin February 4, 2026 at 9:08 PM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
