I Am The Infantry

I am the infantry!
The first to fall!
The last to leave!
(The one fighting horrors trapped in my head.)

I am the infantry!
The most feared!
The most respected!
(The one most always alone.)

I am the infantry!
Well-trained!
Well-disciplined!
(My words are no longer my own.)

I am the infantry!
Highly dedicated!
The most motivated!
(Can no one hear my pleas?)

I am the infantry!
I fight for peace!
I fight for justice!
(All I want is happiness.)

I am the infantry!
I represent my country!
I represent honor!
(I don't even know who I am anymore.)

I am the infantry!
Proud to serve!
Proud to die!
(Dear God, why did I join?)

I am the infantry!
Hated by my enemies!
Loved by my country!
(Why won't my friends call?)

I am the infantry!
I have strength of mind!
I have the highest morale!
(Why do I feel so alone?)

I am the infantry!
I'll gladly lay down my life!
I'll fight to my last breath!
(Please don't let me die.)
