War
Bang, fizz

My mind goes back to years past
When bullets rang past my ears
And I couldn't stop the tears
As I held my dead brothers and sisters in my arms

But it's not without its charms
Because everyone is free
Everyone. But. Me.
I am not a soldier but I've been reading about soldiers/veterans with PTSD who are in agony from the fireworks and I wanted to remind everyone that if there's one near you then please tell them when you'll be setting them off so that they can leave or wear noise-canceling headphones or whatever they have to do.
