Feeling Raw

Put down your armour
Lay down your gun
Cease the lingering smoke
This time we’re done

Still your body now
Clean away your tears
Wipe the blood from skin
And welcome home your fears

Goodbye to green
Brown, red and grey
Goodbye to pain
We’ll make this the day

We’ll rid of the evil
We’ll lay down our pride
For the sake of our life
For those who have died

Nightmares will follow
And tread in your wake
Of the death and destruction
That the world had to take

Eyes are filled with space
You’ll never be the same
Your face will no longer
Match up to your name

The devastation is a shadow
Of the war that echoed here
That is imprinted inside us
And will always stay near

So put down your armour
Lay down your gun
You’ve done all you can but
You still haven’t won.

"Your face will no longer
Match up to your name"

Enjoyed the whole poem especially the lines above. And it did have a raw feeling to it

Wow, this is amazing, I like how you ended it.

Jesus loves you! Don't believe it? Then at least believe that I love you! I may not know you, but you're a person too, and you deserve to be loved.
