Thank you so much to everyone at the M.O.D and the RAF and to all who have kindly supported my writing.

Low

July 5, 2026

Low,
low,
down low,
despair,
far too many times,
more despair in this life,
more despair than I wish to know,
and here alone,
where my heart is not at home,
how much lower can I go,
because this heartache and this heartbreak,
it has been more disastrous to me,
and it has come upon me far too frequently,
and fate, how cruel it is,
when it forces you to contemplate the meaning of life,
when there is no love in your life,
and loneliness,
it drives you insane,
when you only have love on the brain.
