Folded Up Flag
September 8, 2023
I watched as a marine comes out
he marches somberly
stops in his tracks
right face
One knee on the ground
“On behalf-"
Everything goes silent
Tears pouring down my face
Reliving the heartbreak
My aunt holding onto the one thing she has left of you
I wanted to scream at god all over again
I will never forget that day
I refuse to look at the flag the same anymore.
Not since i saw a loved one become a
Folded flag.
