Shipped away
To save the day
Not sure where they're sending me
Look left, look right
I'll have my brothers' back tonight
Jumping into darkness
All we see is black
The enemy thinking it's time to attack
Take me back to your face
I want out of this place.
The blood, the sweat, the tears
It'll all be worth it when we leave here
I'm coming back to you

Appealing theme, Emily. I
Appealing theme, Emily. I agree, the military give their lives for us. Your poem is a nice tribute to them. Title, content and spacing all good.
Tx for sharing, Gracy
