It Hurts So Much

Being Where I Don't Belong

By DCMJ unsilencedPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

It hurts so much

To not be allowed to me be

I’m you

And you

Won’t let me

Be me.

I hurt.

You refuse.

I tell.

You close.

I wear.

You won’t.

You hate.

She doesn’t.

You hurt.

She does.

Too.

It’s me.

In the middle.

Where I don’t belong.

It’s you.

I’ll be me.

Over here.

Sixty Seconds to Kill
It's easier to kill a man if you can't see his face. I could have joined an artillery unit and fired at coordinates instead of soldiers. Many men I have served with have said so again and again. 'You'll get yourself and us killed out here,' they say, 'join the artillery, shoot and scoot.'
