A wish to be humble
but humble I cannot be
Raging fires burn within
the tantalizing you just cannot see

A good man I am
a good man I always was
But the anger within
does what it does

So many factors
that cause me to be this way
I served my country
now have a huge price to pay

Had I gone off to college
instead of going to war
I might not have so much pain
and have a hunger for so much more

It is what it is
I don’t regret to serve
I just hate all of this anger and pain
I certainly don’t deserve

I fight the fight
I deal with life each and every day
I share a smile
while I slowly fade away

To all of my fellow Veterans
who share this fight with me
May God bless you all
and may God hear our humble plea
