Storming the Beaches

To say it was mind-blowing
would be an understatement
To say i don't think of it
would be a bold faced lie
To say i have allowed myself to linger
in the spaces of time they exist
would be a gross truth
But to have shaken it from my core
would be an affirmation of growth

In the time it took to fall
it seems the healing time was much greater
and yet in the simplicity of knowing
somewhere it went wrong
the comforting factor remains
it was never on my end


the truth is never kind
hearts never lie
passion burns eternal
and a soul can heal
in my own reality
i did what i could

and yes i lost myself along the way
but while life is a series of battles
your success is not measured by how many
or how few you win
it is only measured
by if you can win the war
and to call me anything less
then a 4 star general
would be a grave error
on the part of any
who dare to bet against me
