Longing For Human Comfort
Longing for human comfort
Life loses all meaning
A yearning so strong
It threatens my very being
One kind word or smile
Is what my heart’s needing
to mend a suffering soul
That’s dying and bleeding
Such profound loneliness
Pains my heart’s beating
Cutting deep into my core
My souls way of seeing
Something wrong with this poem?

Honorably discharged disabled veteran from Arkansas. Did a 12 month tour in Europe and a 6 week deployment to Northwest Africa. I speak a little German and a lot of Spanish. Many Vets lose their way/purpose in life. Your new mission in life, the most important you will ever have, is to become a better father, husband, son and neighbor. It doesn't make you weak to become a better human being. You don't have to be one of the military statistics who either commit suicide or end up in prison.
