History Repeats Itself

I Refuse To Play A Part

By Angel AdagioPublished about a month ago • 1 min read

I've seen war and I've seen pain.

I have chosen myself as I have never had an army with me to support me.

The moment I opened my heart, it was crushed.

I cannot stand by and watch it happen again.

I removed myself from the war and I have retreated to my side of the world, one that will not see that side of the fight again.

I am no coward, but I do know when it is not worth the energy to fight an endless battle.

There are no winners in war, just survivors that live with the permanent scars.

Thank you for taking the time to read some of my work. It may not be perfect, but it's real. I hope you'll stay a while.
