Inside Her Walls
Inside her walls,
no one hears her cries,
another soldier,
makes time to write.
A decision she made,
while still in high school,
to do something worthy,
keeping her heart so true.
Now far away,
in a lonely place,
she sits,and writes,
to her family in the states.
Trained, and conditioned,
to withstand the worst,
sometimes very hard,
and her body hurts.
The flag is her purpose,
and for everything it stands,
freedom,
for every woman, and man.
Faithfully, and determined,
to do her best,
life as a soldier,
her daily test.
She is a survivor,
this is what she chose,
not dancing all night,
and fancy clothes.
As she seals the envelope,
she gives it a kiss,
for she knows in her heart,
there are always risk.
Inside her walls,
no one hears her cries,
another soldier,
makes time to write.
