Soldier's Confession
I don't
brag
To
Others
About
This
And
As much
As my
Character
Likes
TO talk
Only a
Handful
Know
The
Details
Of the
Burden
I bear
Teeth smashed
By
A butt end
Of a rifle
Causes
Self
Preservation
To
Take over
No
Heroic
Or
Courageous
Decision
Only
The fearful
Desire
To
Live
I had
PTSD
Before
It was
Popular
To have
It
No service
Dog
No meds
To
Drown
The
Nightmare
just
an
Internal
mechanism
In
Me to
Carry
On
I never have
walked
Into
The veteran administration
requesting
for assistance
as I always
Figured
There is a brother
Or sister
Who needs
It more
No hand
Outs
No belief
In entitlement
I live
I ride
By my
Own
Set of
Rules
I exist
Outside
The grid
Yet
I conveniently
Make adjustments
To appear
As though
I do
conspiracy theorists
Hold fragments
Of truth
As big brother
Creates
5150's
Out of those
Who
Become
A threat
My service
Is to
God and Country
I don't
Wear
A
MAGA
Hat
And
My stomach
Turns
Everytime
I
See
A
Pink
Beanie
I am the
Guy
That
Society
Wants
You
To
Forget
I am owned
By
No
One
And
I
Stand
For
The National
Anthem
This is the
Soldier's
Confession.....

I can’t even begin to imagine what you have and must be going through Greg. My son is a journalist and he has been spearheading a campaign in the UK demanding that the Government recognise the plight of our ex Military.Before his intevention in this the numbers of ex veterans who committed suicide was not even recorded ... anywhere! ..his work has made the Government now change their attitude ..but there is still so much more that needs to be done.The Public don’t want to forget those who have given so much and they dont Greg...as long as there are people willing to keep making sure they are remembered and looked after..and more importantly .....acknowledged- every single one of them. Thoughts with you my friend. Thank you for this piece to shakes us out of our complacency. Lodigiana x
A powerful piece of honesty Greg. Both my children are ex army and it has opened my eyes to a lot of things. Great piece ?
