It's all the very familiar cycle

Once again

Every time I feel like I'm out,

I get dragged right back in

Chains pulling me from

Every side

Why Appa, do you choose me

A soldier with one leg

Struggling and broken

To head your battalion?

I feel ashamed to face you

Everytime I'm stabbed

In the field

Staying away I try to cover

My wounds from being seen

But somehow Appa you see me

Bleeding out

Why do you sit and watch me

Each time as I trace my steps

Back to Egypt

Help me Appa, regardless of my

Opposition to keep holding

Your flag

Even though I'm muddy

And sometimes can't wrap

My mind around alot of things,

Keep me clean

Don't ever leave my side.

Yours sincerely,

Blackbird
