Returning
To my family
Wondering
Who has survived.

Returning home
To smiles and hugs
But I do not fell present
For there is more to
The story then
They know

When look in the mirror
I see a murderer
Fierce on top
But innocent
Somewhere
Deep down.

I need
To find that place
Of utopia
That has never existed
For battle scars
And memories
Will haunt me
Forever.

The war in Iraq, and the men and women who are mental hurt and often get PTSD inspired me to write this peace
