Pain In the Membrane

I sit here late at night
Wondering what is wrong 
and what is right
Spreading all this slam
as if I where damned
My head is jumbled with
the things that people have mumbled
Explosions going off in my mind
some of them aren’t very kind
I need to find a way
to relieve my mind
So I alleviate the jumble
by writing the words I mumble
Insane with pain
from fellow soldiers that 
have been slain
I lay here late at night
my eyes falling from the lack of light
my body half in flight
I feel the might of the night 
relieving my sight
Relieving my sight from the fight
I sleep now late at night
Dreaming of what is wrong 
wishing it was right
My body in full flight
No fight left, 
at least thru the night
My body in full flight
