Poem
alone in this world of chaos and destruction fighting to survive in a world with lost hopes my dreams of freedom becomes just an illusion while i strive for the stars and stripes we once use to see as a blessing that has now became nothing more then a fight for our own dignity cursing of a signature upon a dotted line just wasting my years away in this unforgiving fight and for what? so i keep myself occupied and on my toes so i can tire myself out and break my bones people are dying and trying to live trying to make it back to their family that prays for them to make it home safely is startin to look like a dream to be able to wrap our arms around out family is far from becoming reality waking up to just another day in this god forsaken place running from the blast and ducking for cover cant ever walk away without a worry cant talk above a whisper and carrying a weapon every where i go i try to be safe but i just dont know inside is where i keep my emotions hidden and deep trying to stay strong so my life i can keep without the fear of loose thaughts running across my mind always thinking about the next life im ready to take just to make sure i make it home okay and why do i even want to stay in this fight or give up my life for a country some my dispise or second guess i really dont know i must be crazy to want to reenlist maybe there isnt much else out there for me maybe it my type of calling, just to keep you all free but things get old quickly and fast i cant keep making these sacrifices for people who dont even know my name i get no thanks and no god bless, all i get is these faces looking at me like i made some type of regret but if you want to judge me for my line of work look at your self and drang yourself through the dirt try to be able to walk in these boots and fight for the country you believe shouldnt lose with a population of billions and the majority are strangers comming to our contry to stay out of danger but im still here fighting for freedom for those who are afraid of doing what i do for you, for them, and many more to come keep in mind that im not dumb dont tell me that im wrong for the things i choose to do think carefully, freely and then look at you because everything you say and everything you do you wouldnt be able to, if this country wasnt free FREEDOM IS NOT FREE thats why i am here to make sure we will have the freedom we all and this contry diserves.
