Disillusioned with this pointless task
How does a weary solider fight on
No encouragement or reason for these tests of strength and skill
What will victory bring, nothing
Every day of every week is full of desire to quit and run
What keeps this man from hanging on?
No satisfaction from being expendable, another foot soldier for pointless battles
A slap on the back at the end of good deeds, told to come back again
Promises of promotion that will never be for filled,
Now I know your lies
Sweet talk hides your intent, funny how you know what to say
To soften the blows of rejection
Do you do this often?
How many dreams have you crushed into dust out of existence?
How many, lost their way, not making it even when putting in thousands of miles
Hard work, now wasted that the task falls upon us
Why should I, so loyal for so long, follow you now
What is there to gain, nothing but slaps on backs
Empty promises
I do nott want to be here, yet here I am.
My loyalty is given out of nothing but a sense of duty and commitment
I will not fail my duty to much pride in this body
To fail a duty is to fail life
Duty as heavy as a mountain
Better than the rest I know I am
Those who dropped out of this course
Giving into their own desires
They temp me so but I will not give in
No good would come out of such a choice
Will good come of my chosen path?
Or will it be one of disappointment
Wasted hours, useless tasks, for another year
