Wounded WarriorA Poem by SilentAuthor
He lays in the dead of night
Wounded, broken and scarred His blood seeps onto the ground His armor in broken shards His metal of white is tarnished Stained with the marks of a war In the battle between good and bad His mind has now been torn Weakened from reality He starts to question his fate Always the hero, the protector There to keep everyone safe. But no matter how often the fight It seems his good will always fall Bad will always override And always keep control No matter how much he tries Victory is always out of reach The others always take it away And claim it or their own selfish needs Stepped on, walked over and kicked Thrown into the depths of despair Knighthood revoked, heroism denied Disposed of, never to be repaired Undeserving of happiness he always seeks He is not the knight after all He will bow to the darkened king He will give everything to silently fall The king, the queen, the sorceress The commander with the blade He will bow his head in defeat He is the one they will choose to slay His will is too weak to protect He seems to waste time anyway So he will let the darkness take over If he can get up and walk away © 2014 SilentAuthor |
