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
