"...you are more than just the war you’ve seen"
by thebloodandthebones
you are more than just the war you’ve seen
so much more than what you’ve endured
beyond the blood and guts
shared and shed
bigger than the battles
fought and won
and the regrettable unforgettable ones lost
these tragedies survived
and painful mountains climbed
are shrapnel embedded
in who you see
staring back from the mirror
but they are not
all that you are
you are still perseverance
and strength
and bravery
and good
and I will see that in you
always
even when you refuse
to see it
in yourself
