War Within Memorial Day Poem

for me i still have the war within a fight that was not mine to hold i should rejoice for our side won but left some brother and sisters in the cold flag draped boxes cold put down my rifle, helmet, boots married but the war was still going the battle ground bloodied with scars bullet riddled lies booby traps of deceit she has to sleep with the enemy me put to rest my bloody fatigues take away the war in me help me be the man i should and over come the pride i could remember those who paid the price who won't come home memorial day i lay it down no more fight no more gun just remembering the ones that didn't make it home
