Discouragement
I declared my MOS. My family told me I couldn’t handle the Army. I stand in my bathroom. I get military sharp.
You’re not enough.
“Stop. I’m doing this.” I looked in the mirror.
You look stupid. Drop before you’re stuck.
I punch my mirror. Maybe I can blur my dad’s ghost in the mirror.
