Marine
As his body slowly dwindles
His mind sharpens even more
But memories, they cloud his thoughts
Bringing back his time of war.
The doctors describe the causes
Brain traumas and distress
They say that it’ll get better
His life won’t always be such a mess.
But what they don’t know how to fix
What he can’t explain
Is that the battle in Iraq
was only the beginning of his pain.
