“The Fight is Over”
By Ashley O’Hare
Bloody knuckles
have solved nothing.
Bruised egos
take an eternity to heal.
A moment of fresh air
can lead to a life of peaceful bliss.
The war is over-
your shield can be lowered.
Danger has no place here;
let down your hair.
Turn to the soldier you became
and bid them farewell.
Their duty is done.
Your new life has begun.
