Borrowed my memories⠀
and⠀
I fabricated them⠀
I went to war with them⠀
To support me⠀
⠀
I never feared to be⠀
bashed⠀
and⠀
wounded⠀
⠀
Until now⠀
⠀
These wounds were⠀
from a different nature⠀
And they didn't heal⠀
Until I could give up⠀
Give up all I carried⠀
⠀
⠀
Some wars weren't about⠀
winning and conquering⠀
To go back home defeated⠀
With fire flaming calmly⠀
At last⠀
At last⠀
At last ⠀
⠀
War is over.

Until I tried to heal, no one knew I was wounded.
