I choose this life
It's a hard life
Yet there is a side to me
Who through these words
You will find
Has a side unknown
Unseen
I am a US Marine
Who fights and will die
For those I have never seen
For those I love
For those whome protest my existence
But I say to you
If a man held a gun to your mothers head
Would you not feel an urge
The instinct to fight
And save your loved ones.
This is why I fight because I love my fellow Marines
I love every American
Every one has a chance to fight for who they love.
