One Man Battle

This is a one man battle
in which i am both the soldier
and the casualty.

Fighting a war with a lost cause.

why should i have to fight so hard to keep us alive..
..when you have never fought for me?

why should i fight for peace and love amongst us..
..when there is no longer peace and love within myself?

There is no resolution to this confusion.

For this is a one man battle
a war
between myself..
.. for us.

a war
that was ended
by a fatal SHOT,
aimed directly at the HEART.

forgotten, and left behind
never to return back "home"

this is a one man battle
in which the soldier in me died
and i remained as just another casualty.
