I know what it's like to shoot at men I don't know how to hide and hope I don't show fear in my heart, or mind of getting killed or left behind. I know what it's like to duck and dodge a bullet, break a tooth and pull it taking the cap off my beer trying to drown all my fear. I know what it's like to feel a bullet hit the bone wish to God I was home lose blood then pass out wake to cries and shouts. I know what it's like to come home to hate and not be loved never be a hero but pushed and shoved be spat upon and called names know life will never be the same. by CR Binion
