Less at war

Why

Less at war with myself today, the moments I caught the trembling in my voice, the moment I thought about him like we still existed, the moment I opened my thoughts to the differing pains of my sons, the conversation about the hurt that people cause each other because of course I do this for work. Less at war with self one day at a time because who is the best person to talk about the pain if not me? Is there anyone that can articulate what it feels like to have every bit of adrenalin running through your painful body for fear of violence towards you, or her. That child went to war and I never left the front line until now, now, this, bit-by-bit, I will be less at war until my body has stood down. Less at war means opening this book, Less at war creates a home for this tale, Less at war.
