Hero For A Day

  

Entrenched with my enemy

Hanging on the horns

Do you see it there?

My reminder

 

Because it is so easy to forget

Battle tested battle armor

The nicks and cuts do show my age

But, I’m not too old to remember  

 

Only broken when we bend

Only happy when we’re hurt

Only empty when we’re silent

Never heal because we’re burnt

 

The battle never ends

Because we won’t let it

We cavort with our fears

A black gallows moan

Those scowling monsters

The devil’s paladins

 

The hero is fleeing

Flickering silence,

For how long can you

Wonder aimlessly

Waiting for help to come?
