Struggle of a Soldier
I erase from my heart… the past… the unpleasant memories
Though I knew that one day they might be coming back
Coming back and unwrap the terrible experiences
Those agonizing feelings in the battle to survive
I used to talk to God … demanding for answers
Why life is unpredictable - I asked - despite of all the facts
“The unknown is uncertain but you must know better
Because times go around and always come back”
Not happy with the answer but as a true believer
I found myself the courage to encounter my fate
Now… I am facing back my past … maybe just temporarily
But the flash of those memories … are not easy to depart
Soon… I’ll leave my family, my roots and my hometown
My comrades are not here, some wounded, some are gone
I am a Marine, a Soldier… lack of emotions, aggressive
But screaming in silence everyday during war
I gave my word to my nation, and to my flag in this uniform
And I will honor my pledge with my life if I have to
I know some may believe I am a soldier before human
Please forgive me if I fail I am just telling my truth
