Her notebook sits
Gathering dust in her desk drawer
Fear has constricted all else
Damn this war
Nothing feels safe
Her sleep is haunted by dark terrifying dreams
Oh god how I wish it all would stop
Happiness once shone brightly in her radiant smile
These days all that shows is her fear
Weakness
A vunerability she has never felt
Pushing forward with wide unseeing eyes
Such exhaustion and frustration cannot be described
How much longer can it be
Until her exhausted frightened body and soul
Is tucked safely in your arms
Tears falling steadily now
She tries to collect her courage
But there is no more

That was real good. Strong and captivating.
