I commit myself to excellence,
the man with endless flaws.
My mistakes are fought with discipline-
my back's one millionth straw.
It is a trap you can't escape,
you thought it would treat you well.
You sign your soul to their name,
and they send you straight to hell.
A soldier's dream is to escape from here,
from this recurring dream.
My inner war, my true nightmare,
is the only thing that I've seen.
I see the day, the teasing light,
shine brightly into my eyes.
I march away, I march to fight,
my dreams will go to the sky.
A soldier lost, a soldier gone,
is numbered, yet never named.
The sacrifice, he has done,
is lost in his death's shame.
A war is about the ones we lost,
not counting a bullet's score.
Remember the ones that fight at all costs,
and the country that we have died for.

Dedicated to the ones that fight, the ones that sacrifice for our freedom.
I, myself, am in the military. Air Force. I now stand near the borders of Iraq, I stand in Turkey, peering over. We do what we want, we go where we wish, due to the sacrifices of the soldiers, who have given all in battle. We must not forget the ones that are alive, for they are the ones that continue the battle. They are the ones that pick up the rifle after their comrades have fallen. Honor, courage... We stand alone, yet we stand side by side. We are brothers, defenders of our country. We will come home, eventually, from the grips of war... The grips of the Military. We come home, broken, bruised, scarred. We all wear scars of the Military. We come home, to what we sacrificed all for. Let us come home to a land to be proud of... |

That Is All.

Misty cloaks of rain, hiding my tears of pain.
My sadness seems to not drain, I walk alone again.
I feel so dark, so unclean, I feel the oncoming shame.
So this is what they mean, to truly walk in the rain.

Hard to breath,
feels like Iīm going to throw up every time
but itīs even harder to stop..

I feel so dark, so unclean,
I feel the oncoming shame.
So finally, this is what they mean,
to truly walk in the rain.
