soldier

a soldier in this life
so much to accomplish
too much to conquer
so little strength

the lands are vastly appearing
white flag of surrender at hand
choices awaits to be selected
each decision bearing consequences
good or bad
i don't know

can i withdraw from this battlefield
from the emotional turmoil and stress
can i lay my arms down
and get some rest

i don't wanna fight anymore
to face accusations that is
worse than bullets in the flesh
why is it that it's just so hard

sometimes trying isn't good enough for you
sometimes it's just pointless
it's unfair when ur wages are paid
with unbalanced scales
how can a man earn enough to feed his soul?

for every finger you point at me
think again...3 more pointing back at you
whatever you said i have done
you've already done those yourself
that's why you know my mistakes so well
they were yours

i wish you well
i wish you happiness and joy
my island is here
it's you who have drifted shores
