Nightmares of War

Nightmares of War

As I go through the days

The weeks

The months

Nightmares plague me

Even worse are the nights

Full of fear

Full of terror

There's nothing I can do

To stop the fights

The battles

That plunge me deep

Into tales of horror

I wonder will it stop?

Can it ever end?

My days are full of darkness

My nights with screams

My head spins

Full of battles

My childhood?

Where has it gone

During this secret life I lead?

I can never stop it

Never stop the fear

It's a part of me

A part that never fades

Never dims

Will it always be there?

There to haunt me?

Will the scars of battle heal?

Or is it a lost cause?

I can tell no one about my secret life

Life of pain

Of struggle

Of war
