Shut up and Sit Down!
I Am
A Soldier in the Battlefield
Walking away from the Destruction that I caused
As I Approach, You will See
Uniform and Gear are both Tattered and Torn
Boots and Goggles, Scuffed and Scratched
Gloves and Pads, Worn and Destroyed
Take a Closer Look at Me!
You Will Notice I have sustained many Injuries
I Lost Sight to my Left Eye from Shrapnel
Thirteen Stab and Bullet Wounds Litter my Body
And all I can See and Taste is the Aggression
I’ve been to Hell and Confronted the Devil
My Spirit knows No Fear or Remorse.
I will Not Come Home
Three Reasons I May
Death, Crippling Injury, or I Want To
If You wish for My Return
A Letter is all I Need from You
God and I Stand on Opposing Sides
He wishes for My Faith
but Faith and Hope I have Used Up
Now, They are Overrated
Like an Entertainer who has Nothing to Give
They give an Act as I give my Life
The Battlefield
A City torn Asunder
Craters and Debris litter the Streets
Buildings on the Verge of Caving In
It is Like My Body
Gave Everything and Lost It All
Staring You Down
Behind the Dark Shades of My Damaged Eye-Pro
My Eyes well up in Painful Tears
Ignoring the Physical Pain
I remember the Emotional Damage You Caused
Will I be Lenient or Cold
As You See Me Stand before You Now?
Weapons
Slung over My Shoulder
Holstered on My Leg
Sheathed at My Waist
Do I pull Them on You in Vengeance
Or Forfeit and Drop it All
Look Me in My Eyes
You will See the Type of Person that I have Become
Yearning for Your Love that You Denied
Which I have Proven to You so Many Times
But Your Eyes are Blind and Ears are Deaf
Mind filled with Dreams of Fantasy
I Gave Up so Much
Now My Love
Is for the Battlefield
I Am
A Soldier in the Battlefield
