Letter To a Friend

Dear friend Where do I begin? I got so much on my mind Sometimes I wonder where we stand But my emotions is bout to explode Like a volcano when its eruption And your name came in mind When it came to reach out for a hand I’m overseas fighting With mortars flying over my head Bullets traveling toward my frame Fighting for something I don’t understand I’m crying cause I need help And here I don’t have a friend Today I am alive But tomorrow I might be dead And man with this Always on my mind Got me scared for the fact I don’t know if I’m running out of time Usually I call you But I have to write this on a line Cause my voice is so shaky I can’t say a word but jus cry To me you’re like a brother You are always by my side That’s why I’m writing you Even though I feel shy You always seen me tough But never seen my sad side I hate that I feel like this Even though I don’t know why And I think you are the only person That can really calm me down Even though in my eyes I see death all around Blood on the sand Body parts on the ground Sometimes I think to myself How do I stay alive living with a frown? But knowing you’re here for me Is enough to hold me down Jus writing this to you Is making me feel better right now One day we’ll sit down and talk And on my face you’ll put a smile But I hope that day comes Before I’m the next dead person found
