I wrote in my flesh the pain of the year
I lit my lonely fury, my pain and my destruction
Alone I wept and hoped you’d sort through the iron of your shield and notice my long sleeves
And then appears my cowardly knight
Armorless this time
Wincing I roll my sleeves
To see and show the scabs half formed
You muster up your strength now
To hold me as I fall, I see you’re falling too
Together maybe this time
We’ll fall and lean to stand
This time my soldier, you’ll fight to be brave
And stay to hold my hand.
Author notes
i guess my only question is the question i always feel like asking, is it worth the time i used to write it?

warriors walk alone
jousting disarmed
shredding their shields
I wrote in my flesh the pain of the year
I LOVE THIS LINE!
conquer abrasions
leftover
from ungrateful followers
sometimes people get discouraged when something overwhelming/spectacular is placed before them
your illuminations extracting from within
may have had a startling effect
courageous is how others need to come
in order to be at level with you
saluting your work so far

helpless
This makes me think of my best friend who doesn't know what to do with herself... she lives so far away, and I feel helpless. I feel like I'm the cowardly knight. I like the 'lean to stand' line. It clicked with my brain. -
bonn!
This is really great. The cowardly knight is a good idea. Fine work!
