Much more than a hit of dopamine
You actually taught me what love means
I don't need serotonin
To tell me just how far I was falling
That's on me
"I'm fine" means you're crying
"Leave me alone" means don't go
"Shut up" means keep talking
"I love you" means come back home
The perfect moment of clarity
You showed me all the things that eluded me
Keep that serotonin
I knew just how fast I was going
"I'm fine" means you're crying
"Leave me alone" means don't go
"Shut up" means keep talking
"I love you" means come back home

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

Doing it for the troops
The others dropped like flies around me. We fought and struggled to get to this point. I'm the only one left now. The objective is right there. A mere two hundred feet away. The last of my team got a bullet to the head right next to me, but I couldn't do anything. I was able to locate and neutralise the sniper as he shot my friend, so his death was at least not in vain.

That "I'm fine" was extremely relatable. Loved your poem!
Beautifully written. Language is ssuch a strange thing when it tries to articulate truth and emotion 🤍
