Have to just lay for a second or two

Cause this body is still feeling blue

Slowly I rise

Then try to open my eyes

Lifes business calls

I stumble and almost falls

Getting to the bathroom

Afterwards I return to the bedroom

Television playing

I don't even want to hear what it's saying

More soldiers killed

More American blood spilled

I lay comfortable

While some soldiers lives crumble

They exist no more

They have exited lifes last door

Now I just sat here

Wondering about a soldiers fear

Realizing that my greatest battle was only a nightmare
