American hero
He lived a normal life.
One day something changed.
He wanted to make a difference.
He was recruited.
He left home with a short goodbye
He leaves regretting nothing
He knew he was helping
Everything he knew he left behind
Life is short spend it wisely
He thought he was
Little did he know how hard it would be
He wouldn't leave no matter how they pushed
He never quite
Never gave up
Never cried
Never left
One day he was called to war
He was the best soldier
Shooting was a specialty
He left
His new friends had to go to
Nothing would be the same
The war will begin soon now
They enter the war zone
People fall around him
Blood flies through the air
Limbs falling to the ground with a thud
Cries and prayers drowned out the gunshots
Weeks that felt like years passed quickly
Nothing was the same
Finally, him and ten others survived
Everyone was done fighting
They left
He returns home
Wounded he lays
He became a hero
An American hero has been born
