Cracks in the armor
reveal the void inside.
Turns out you are
a “Never Were”.
Sunlight warrior.
Moonlight child.
Somehow,
you have always been able to
keep that breastplate shining.
Tough love.
Tough luck.
This one rough road
tumbles any soul.
The day breaks,
just like the pike lines
before the cavalry charge.
That’s where you took your wound.
That is where we found you.
A boy,
in the suit of a man
who never was.
HG – 2022
