The Unloved Soldier
One, Two, Three, Four
Look, another one hits the floor
Another soldier has fallen
This beautiful angel from heaven
Now lies on the floor, stained in red
The bloody mess
Screams all the words unsaid
The words that everone refused to listen to
She went to friends, they put her down
She went to family and they turned around
And completely betrayed her
So who did she have?
Oh, she had you
But you were the main source of the pain
Weren’t you?
What a shame
You were supposed to be the one there to support
Not the one to report
That you found her lifeless, cold, body on the floor.
This is what happens now
To us, the unloved
We are such lovely, graceful, kindhearted creatures
But we are also the lonliest, most damaged children
Words cut us deeper than any other
We are the Unloved Soldiers
But we are a dying breed
Slowly everyday one of us falls
No one sees our real need
We need acceptance, love, and compassion
But seemingly that’s a bit old-fashioned
Apathy has consumed this generation
That’s why we have teens now
In deprivation
Of the one thing we all need to survive.
Love.
So I suppose we’re all Unloved Soldiers
But it’s up to us if we fall or not
Because there are a few of us who have not forgotten
What it’s like to be an Unloved Soldier.
