Navy Man Poem by adam reed

my mind is busy
worked hard, the night is with me
not sure if the fight is in me
and i cant tell if the fire's empty
the thing is, to put it simply,
there's no thought that hits me
or fears to tempt me
My life is my work
and my work is my life
i dont need a girl
and dont need to earn stripes
i just live in the day
appreciate what ive got
i take what it brings
give it all that ive got
for the first time ever
im self sustaining
i never say never
or cry when its raining
and guess what im blaming

thats right,
take a look at the name of the poem
a look at the writer,
its a shame you dont know him
he's a fighter
he'll never complain anymore
he'll travel the world
and smile like never before
