The Fall That I Took

                                                        Dedicated to all the soldiers


 Standing on the other side of the border,

preparing myself for any kind of danger,

there I stood tall, wiping off the dust,

on my medals for bravery, 

doing the thing I love the most,

protecting my country, and the people.


This was the fall I myself had chosen,

I chose to put myself in danger, by

protecting the young and old from nightmares,

keeping the people safe and sound,

my priorities changed when I'm on the field.

This was the fall that I took, with no regret.


How I wish for a world to see the souls,

and not the bodies, a place safe and,

filled with love, peace, and harmony.

You are free to choose, but you 

aren't free from the consequences of

the choices you make.


The thoughts inside me makes me feel heavy,

making me unable to escape the gravity,

my mind is stacking up problems that

are unnecessary, drawing me to the core.

Wondering the good ol' days back in home,

with the people I love and care the most.


With that, adjusting my cap of bravery,

I walk out, into the oblivion,

not knowing what might happen next,

thinking about the safety of the country,

and for those to have a sound sleep,

after all, not every angel has wings.


Sincerely,
Confessions of a Soldier
