Welcome to my life!!!
------------------------
BATTLE WEARY
I get upon my steed, leaving the battlefield,
My job done, but my body shows it.
My arms quaking, sword too heavy to carry,
My shield worn, a blacksmith's worst nightmare.
I have wounds I never realized open my flesh,
Their sting unfelt, but tomorrow they shall,
Sweat drips from me as though in a hurricane
As my mind cries for relief only one thing can bring.
Sometimes I wish I had never fought this war,
The battles are the same day in and day out.
Sometimes I wish that I could myself fall in a struggle,
A quick sting followed by peace.
But then you go and soothe me,
Your hands knead my dirty-bloody skin
As you speak those words I so long to hear,
“Welcome home, my knight, I'm here.”
