Soldier (Incomplete) Poem by Ryan Joseph Holder

Living a lie
And I know that I’m trapped
Left with the consequence
Of all that I lack
And I know I’m falling
Down! I know…
That death comes too fast
And I know I know…
I’m not going to last
And I can’t stop falling
Down….
And I can’t keep
Fighting Here! ! !

[Chorus]

And I know that
I’ll never leave
And I’m praying
I’m down on my knees
And I know that
This War’s a lie
Everyone I
Once loved have died
And I’m screaming
I’m praying to God
And I’m seething
I know that I’m lost
And I know that
I’ll probably die
I May never
Come back alive
