Stitch me back together,
whether it hurts me or not.
I still don’t know if I was
Blown up or shot.

The brain plays tricks,
maybe a bullet or
shrapnel from bricks.
I ain’t afraid of dyin’
I’m in a macho clique.

We expect the worst to happen.
Part of that is Rappin’ and
Some of it is Shtick.
You doin’ it with super glue?

How modern of you.
From assembling model airplanes,
To jigsaw puzzles, Dude
Technology took away stitches, so
 I won’t look Frankenstein crude

I Appreciate You Reading as many as you do. I wrote this poem ,with a view to looking from the injured person's viewpoint. Writing a Poem,without really knowing a person's perspective,makes it flat. I have met many injured warriors.

Another weekend is here and I have not read as many poems as I would have liked to this week. I am happy I was able to read yours today. Have a wonderful weekend Kieran. Hopefully I will be able to read more next week. Love, Carol
