They say it isn't my fault. They say I'm not to blame. They say I did all I could. They say I'm... A hero... They say I fought for freedom. They say I fought for what was right. They say I gave more than enough, They say I DID more than enough. How do they know? What could they know? How dare they say I gave ENOUGH! HOW DARE THEY SAY I DID ENOUGH! I'M STILL ALIVE! I'M STILL BREATHING! I'M NOT A HERO! I'm... not... I could have saved someone... I could've taken that shot... I SHOULD HAVE saved someone. I SHOULD HAVE taken that shot. It should've been me... Why couldn't it be me... I failed them... I failed everyone. I didn't see enough. I didn't do enough. I didn't **** enough. No... I wasn't enough... I wasn't enough of a Marine. I wasn't enough of a husband. I'm not enough of a father. I'm no longer human enough. Can I be enough for once? Can I be strong enough? Happy enough? Loved enough... Someone... Anyone... I don't want to be abandoned again... Ah... thats right... There's not enough of me left. No... there wasn't enough to start. There could never be enough, Because I started with nothing. I could never be strong enough, Since the foundation wasn't enough. I thought I was enough... But there isn't even enough For me to dream... I was never... enough...

Never. Enough.
They say it isn't my fault. They say I'm not to blame. They say I did all I could. They say I'm... A hero... They say I fought for freedom. They say I fought for what was right. They say I gave more than enough, They say I DID more than enough. How do they know? What could they know? How dare they say I gave ENOUGH! HOW DARE THEY SAY I DID ENOUGH! I'M STILL ALIVE! I'M STILL BREATHING! I'M NOT A HERO! I'm... not... I could have saved someone... I could've taken that shot... I SHOULD HAVE saved someone. I SHOULD HAVE taken that shot. It should've been me...
