Flashbacks that consume my core
Feelings of deep sorrow
These images are filled with gore
Hoping I'll feel better tomorrow

Nobody could really ever understand
The pain that happened over there
This was never really planned
Only God listens to my prayers

Though I feel totally insane
Medicine blurs my mind
Although it helps numb my pain
My pain causes me to feel blind

My mind goes over those days
I just cannot rest you see
So much pain in many ways
My emotions need to be set free
