War Poem (for 2.22.11)

I got there, ready for this war
already missing my family
first days were a bore
with nothing to do

one day it all changed
gun fire erupted
the battle raged

I lost friends that day
and I was a killer
it felt worse then I could say

I wanted to go home
they gave me a metal
said I did good, go home

I felt out of place,
family could see it on my face
I went back to war
two weeks later
It had changed me, and now, this is what I was
