My Battle Wounds

They wanted to know what had been fought
Wishing I never had this story to tell
Think it's for the wrong reason
But I went through hell

First there was a terrible mark 
Still a badge showing courage
At least that's what I thought
Some may think it wrong
But it shows of strength

Looking back I should have known
Even though it has been earned
I should have learned
No matter how long the night
The badge will be here when I wake

 No matter why the battle was fought
First telling stories of my memories
The audience showed interest
My story made me the best
I thought I knew why
Now those thoughts have gone by

Most don't care about my memory
Those who would still remember 
Were left behind 
This memory I never wanted
Will never leave my mind
