Soldier

what its like to be that soldier? risking your life and sacrificing alot but not every one can call themselves that think of what you do during the day while they dont sleep that chance to not come back home, their families that weap scary?? hearing and seeing bullets fly rounds striking skin battle buddies that die feeling of mortar rounds striking the ground beneath your feet IED's exploding under one of your battles HUMMWV the sound of a 50 cal going off nite and day bodies falling around them now what do you have to say? you think your story is hard try being a soldier for once and you tell me try living their life and seeing what they see days in and days out with no relief and you say you think your scared?? im scared for their families grief being a soldier is not what you think, its what you are being strung up in a gang killing dont make you that star that real soldier is defending this country and whats right firing rounds down range not giving up with out a fight seeing your buddies shot and die with their blood on your hands are you really that soldier or do you stand back in the stands? waking up and breathing each day hoping its not the last you make the fear is what keeps them alive but thats a give or take soldiers losing everything that they once adored spouses leaving them cuz they cant wait or get bored its not easy being that soldier even from the good you do its not a get up one day, kill and walk away thinking you're through when you're a soldier thats what you are each morning you wake you live it and you breathe it in with out a rest or break by Taneia J.
