Sad Marine Away From Home
I am a sad marine.
Away from home, in Afghanistan.
Just trying to go back home,
With only a couple months to go.
Boom! I shoot myself
As I lie dead on the floor
My best friend soon tells the captain, I'm dead.
You can't imagine what I've seen in the past months.
Some horrible things just every one getting bomb, exploding every were.
Now I'm up here looking down, and taking care of my family.
I should have listened to my dad.
He always knew right from the start,
That things this bad would happen.
I just want to tell my family, I'm in a better place.
So please don't cry anymore.
To all I want to say bye, bye.
