A steady gaze with piercing blue eyes
An echoing silence filled with urgent cries...

And I'm immersed in this world
Running in this never ending race...

I hear the rustling of wind in my ear
A whisper of unabashed fear...

At night I lay in bed
With thoughts of you running through my head...

I've left this world to escape the pain
And left you with a reminder: blood stain...

If time could tell us all what we want to know
Then life would pass by so slow...

I look at this world all around me,
With eyes scanning for possibility...

Dear Soldier,
I know you believe in the red, white and blue...

I try to fool myself into believing I'm an adult
Maybe it's my errant emotions that are so...

I fear you have forgotten,
To look into my eyes...

I feel no part of me,
I feel a loss of stability...

Sometimes what I feel
Deep inside me is concealed...
