‘You just survive soldier
And your soul is beautiful’
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
‘You just survive soldier
And your soul is beautiful’
“No one else is carrying the aftermath trauma you have endured inside their body. They are not paying the concequences. They are not managing the recovery.
Therefore their opinions are secondary to any and all things that help you heal.”

I really tried to love you
He said
But I wasn’t good enough
It’s really not your fault
She said
My exterior is just too tough
I just cannot understand
He said
Why you have to be so combative
I’ve just been surviving for so long
She said
That I’ve forgotten how to live
Trying
hard
to
survive
This
thing
called
life
Hoping
to fend
off the
madness
Striving
so
much
to find
Heartening
peace
of
mind
Hiding
under my
duvet of
sadness
