This is based on a true story so please comment and tell if anyways i can make this better. I also dedicate this to all my friends who never made it home alive again to see friendly shores.Frailty

How many times must i fall?
Just to get back up again
How many times must I be brave?

Just so i don't see death's gaze
In the midst of gun shots,
I hear the mortar's call as they fall
and with their sharp bangs
So to do my friends fall

How many times must i fall?
Just to get back up again?
How many times must I be brave?
Just so i don't see death's gaze?

No time to feel fear.
I must press on.
I can't think about Jacobs mother
I must think of the others...

How many times must I fail?
To protect my friends?
My backs riddled with bullets,
but still I lost one again??

Randy took one hit
and i had to see his mother cry
his daughter won't even know his name
I have no such attachments,
and still i rise again???

The day my last friend died
I learned that those who deserved life
have died and those who deserved death
have lived, God must be laughing up there.

The tears won't come anymore
I guess I am just used to it
I don't even bother saying am sorry
Maybe its cause i no longer care to hear it.

Woah,

Really nice, it's relflective of your time serving with the Army right?

My backs riddled with bullets,
but still I lost one again??

Liked that line, shows the desperation and frailty, made it really enjoyable to read albiet a little saddening.
