All I have around me is soldiers who are just like me
I had to leave my sons and daughters.
Leave my mother and father.
Just to serve this country and protect these citizens.
Is there some other way to pay this price that I have chosen?
I don’t know if I can fight anymore.
I don’t know if I can bear not to see my family.
I don’t know if I can miss my sons and daughter’s birthdays.
Oh god, please just come and help me.
Just let me know I will be okay.
Here I am, just a soldier who longs to be back home.
Like all the other soldiers here.
We just want to serve our country at the same time.
All I have is the pride inside of me knowing I am helping and saving the world…
