A moment that changed a life |
The blood flowing from my body The warm feeling of the red substance The lack of movement of my left side Laying in the deep wet sand My unit running all around I try and move and everything goes black When i woke it was bright out i looked around and no ones there I felt myself dying I breathed in deep Started coughing up blood Was i shot or stabbed? Did i trip or fall? What happened? I just want to go home Wait i hear something It sounds like a person I hope their here to help "Hang in there Soldier" I hear faintly as i pass in and out I open my eyes I see my family Their crying for my pain My son is standing beside the bed He looks up at me and screams "Daddy, I love you" The tears flowing from my eyes The cold feeling of the clear substance The lack of movement in my body Laying on a hospital bed My family all aroud I try and move Screaming from the pain The doctor runs in He presses a button The pain goes away Oh how lucky i am To survived that I looked out of my body Im missing my right arm Along with my left hand Wait up to my left knee is blown off Thats not too bad ive seen worse As long as im alive "Clear" What was that my chest hurts now "Clear, a little more" Ouch my heart I breathed in deep Where am i Its white walls everywhere Needles in and out of my body Bang a bullet from out of nowhere What was that, a shot I pass out once again I open my eyes All i see is bodies falling At every sound of a round A soldier dropped A whistling sound "Oh Shit" I hear screams of incoming A mortar, i cant move I try but its not possible As the mortar hit I saw a huge cloud Sand going everwhere Bodies flying weightlessly The shockwave knocked me out "Clear" Ouch my heart What is this that is hurting my chest I open my eyes Im standing in from of millions "I was given a purple hearts i give this to my fallen comrades in battle part of me wishes i died with them but im so lucky to be alive?" |
