Invisible War

by PoeticXscape

Through the years, many battles have been fought.
In schools, their history has been taught.
But you can't teach what you don't know.
What the textbooks don't show.
Some people are fighting an invisible war.

To be shot or stabbed is an instant fatality.
Others linger in the pain of a darkened reality.
There is no quick fix for such a comrade.
But sometimes amputations must be made.
For those fighting an invisible war.

There is no physical being to beat.
But there is an enemy to defeat.
It often infiltrates the protective wall.
You see them stand but daily they fall.
From fighting an invisible war.
