I'm committed to a reflection
On anxiety and depression
Based on several reports
From a daily combat zone
So many different stories to be told
A unifying thread
Made of all the strength
Endurance and resilience
In anyone fighting
Every day in the raging war inside
It takes some guts
To stand the battlefield
When you can never leave,
Nor go AWOL or retreat. No peace at all.
Wherever you may go
Whatever you may do
The enemies are there
Inside of you
Their operation's set, a constant wave of charges that will drive you to the edge
And in time – their aim is more than clear –
They expect you to surrender, counting on your desperation and your fear
And yet you're still there, you made it this far.
I know it may sound cold comfort to you, but day after day you keep pulling through
You refuse to go down, and maybe you'll never be fine, but you're still clinging on to your life
So, bear this in mind, no matter how this war will end, you should be goddamn proud of yourself
Now look at your chest, you'll see something carved on your heart it's your grit in the shape of a star
Yeah, it's made of scars, but it's what defines who you are, an award to your valor that no one can deny
