battle

Always on the simmer. Imagined slights. Miscommuniations. Disproportionate responses. Distrust. Paranoia. Escalation. Conflagration. Hate.

Life is war. Everyday we wage fresh battle. Some days - you feel more cornered than others. On other days – you’re doing the cornering.

Some days - you just enjoy the sunshine. Birds in flight. Calm. Serene. Like everything around you - broken, sinking.

Does the end always look so pretty? If only it wouldn’t take a lifetime.

They tell you peace comes with waging no more wars. For the fighter, peace is in the middle of the battle. Imagined or real.

Tomorrow’s a fresh battle.
