I am a night owl
For I make my nights my days.
In the dark
I can navigate through the habitat
That is when I do the drills
And I get the chills.
It is when the winds are fierce
And they blow through my bones
That they make me cold
They make me shiver.
But that is when I feel
The bravery
The commitment
The strength
Of my mind and soul.
It is with passion
That I fight
To take control
Of my surroundings
And then I prevail.
Sometimes the winds are so rigid
But I push myself through its stiffness
And I make it work
No matter its level of toughness.
And when it whistles its winds of caution
My heartbeat slows down
And I think
I remain calm
I untie the knots.
And so, I don’t drown
Ever
So that I don’t die
And put my dreams to sleep.
There are times
When I turn into a rabbit
I hop through fields
Fields of war
Of sweat
Of uncertainty.
I hop through its bullets of grass
And then like the feet of deer
I run the miles of rescue missions.
When I dive and swim like a dolphin
I join the waves as a friend
As I learned to overcome their currents
And I pop out my head with a victorious defeat.
The bullets I fire
Are the targets I aim at
And I hit
My aim.
My aim
Is the enemy
The enemy of the people
The people of G-d
Of love
And of innocence.
And as I pull the trigger
My adrenaline takes over
And I win.
I win the battles of justice
Of freedom
Of security.
I wear the gear of trust
The trust of my very own country
That I will succeed
To eradicate the evil
The evil of mankind.
This is who I am
For I am a Navy SEAL!
