It was my first ddeployment
I was in an open field
When I spotted
One of the enemy
I shot him
Before he could shoot me
Then from behind
I was shot in the let
I was taken
To a field hospital
Later I was sent
Back to the states
While laying in my hospital
Bed I kept replaying
That moment in my head
I had shot someone
I was a murder
Sure he would have killed
Someone else
Sure he would have
Destroyed more lives
Still I couldn\'t get over
What I had done
I did what I had to
War is kill or be killed
However
I am not a killer
That is not me
After being released
From the hospital
I left the military
I vowed to never
Touch a gun again
Or
Any other weapon
As long as I lived
