Shifted warrior
I was this shifted warrior. Fighting all these unknown battles. None of them mine but I was willing. I volunteered. Yet no one stood proud over me.
No one cared to be the victor of my saga. So I traced this invisible line to carefully place the shallow calls to life, at a great distance.
Carefully I shouted my qualities, still no prospects. Then as my weary days began surfacing many startled my views. Why now? Why here?
I threw caution to their words. Fighting their hopes with truth. Displaying their callous views forward, so all could judge.
Then as I wasted away under this sunlight and breeze, the cooling whispers gathered me. Understanding I fought hard, alone.
Careful who you trust. For the shallow and unforgiving are closer than those who know little and carry long.
I am that one. Singled. Yet so misunderstood. Cast out but so welcoming. I am a warrior. I survived.
Now my breath hovers over warm petals.
