The Military

I try my best to pretend its okay
As I watch him walk away
I know I may never see him again
But I have to be strong
I have to pretend nothing is wrong
Every time I think about where hes going
I think of guns and fighting and the possibility of the men in black showing
I don't like that he chose that path
But I have to support his every choice
I don't like what the military does to families
But I will be there to support him, he's my brother
I would never trade him for another
We may have times when we don't get along
But he's family and I don't want anything to go wrong
I love him no matter what
I'll never forget the last time he saw me
I just want him to come back, to be free
Recruiters come to my school and every time I argue with them
They don't understand why I don't want to join
Not everything is about money, it's not worth every coin
Just leave me alone that's all I want..
Give me my family back and go away
Don't fight with me because I'm not like you
Because I hate people like you...
I'm glad you like what you do
But don't drag me into that shit
Your lucky you don't get hit
The way you talk to me and play your stupid games
You don't understand how the military has hurt me
The military isn't what you claim
