Off To War

Lost in a maze
   trapped here for days
      swallowed by insanity
             driving me to craze
 
                                            Drowning in my tears
                                                        battling my fears
                                                            searching for that inner peace
                                                                                predict the end is near
 
Awakened through the night
      with all my strength and might
              this Patriot is armed against 
                                 the enemy to fight
 
                                            when the war is done
                                                  wounds she have is none
                                                         regain the rights to sanity
                                                                     is evidence she won.
