Fighting Shadows

Echoes in the night, shadows of their past

Silent scars, stories they hold fast

Boots on the ground, hearts racing with fear

Ghosts of the fallen, whisper in their ears

Battles within, walls they can't see

Fighting for freedom, but they’re fighting to be free

In the silence, they scream inside

scars of war, they can't hide

Holding on, through pain and doubt

Their courage screams, they’re fighting out

Soldiers on the front line, fighting their own war

Losing pieces of themselves, yet craving for more

PTSD shadows looming, battles they cannot shake

Fighting for the country, but their own souls at stake

Nightmares haunt them, restless and torn

Memories linger, tired and worn

Bravery’s a burden they carry alone

Seeking peace, a place called home

In the silence, they scream inside

scars of war, they can't hide

Holding on, through pain and doubt

Their courage screams, they’re fighting out

Soldiers on the front line, fighting their own war

Losing pieces of themselves, yet craving for more

PTSD shadows looming, battles they cannot shake

Fighting for the country, but their own souls at stake

Healing’s a journey, step by step

Through the storm, through the regret

Lost but hopeful, searching for light

Finding strength in the fight

Marching forward, scars as a crown

Fighting not just battles, but breaking down

For every hero’s silent cry

Freedom’s breath, they testify
