You'll never hear me say that there's glory in war.
It is ugly, it is painful, it is frightening...

But I know, in my heart;
Deep within this soul born of freedom.
That what I do, at times, is a necessity.

It is nerve-wracking, most days,
Knowing that when you wake up you may not make it home.

But still I am proud, 
Because of what I have managed to achieve.

And tonight; I hope that you're proud of me,
Because I'm sending a hundred of my boys home.

I just wish that I was joining them this time...

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Tonight we have a commission by :iconlayaamaranthi: - She's an incredible writer and a wonderful person. She has ideas comin' out of her everything and if you haven't seen her yet. COME READ SOME!

Anyway, this piece I wrote tonight is about soldiers. They fight and they do their best for the man up top giving orders. They're just doing their job and occasionally people forget that. I hope this piece brings together some of the emotions that they face, knowing that they've done their duty. Even when it's the end.

And if you too would like your own commission done

:iconpointcommissionsask: - I am open for poetry and flash fiction. Just check my journal for the details ^^
