did not want to be.
I went where others feared
to go, and did what others
failed to do.
I asked nothing from those
who gave nothing, and
reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal lonliness...
should I fail.
I have seen the face of terror;
felt the stinging cold of fear;
and enjoyed the sweet taste
of a moment's love.
I have cried,pained,and hoped...
but most of all, I have lived
times others would say
were best forgotten.
At least someday I will be
able to say that I was proud of
what I was...a Soldier.
