The good is horrible
The way things affect you, as if it was the slightest moment of weakness
I can’t feel, or understand
But you, you stand strong
You’re steel
Cap and boots
A longing for good to come home,
But horrible knocking at your door
Good splashes, hits, shaking the ground
Good stands straight,

Good reloads, he tries to act calm, and stay strong
He’s hoallow, he can’t touch, can’t feel anymore
At home she cuddles her new born baby oh so tightly,
With strong hands but yet so weak
Through the weakening moments she would be an eagle
Thick and thin, she survives
She is my good

The author's comments:
I usually never write anything as emotional, but i decided to try something new. I wanted to give mystery and confusion into the story. This is about how a young soldier is everything that is good, except is sent off inot deployment where him being good is now steering in the other direction. As the wife sits at home cuddling with her new born baby, is scared for what will go on while the soldier is gone. But the wife is strong on the outtside, but also so weak. Later the mother becomes stronger and stronger until she is now my "good"
