How weary the heart grows
being pelted by flying bullets
from your mouth.
No end in sight.
The war rages on,
relentlessly,
ammo filling the air,
nothing to breathe but lies.
I hold my breath
and seek new ground
where truth fills my choking lungs.
Ah, I now retire the bullet proof vest
and rejoice in my new space
of truth and integrity
breathing in new life
without your pathetic lies.
