The Battle Within

Every day I fight with myself

With the sense of duty that I feel

I know that I can’t ignore it

Or push it away

But it scares me to think that

It’s not just a phase or

Something that will just go away

I try to bury it but its always there

In the center of my heart and thoughts

It comes with some ups

And some downs

But which outweighs the other

It makes having a family hard

And can hold the ultimate price

But serving my country

Is what I want to do

What I have always wanted to do

So, Is this my destiny

Or am I just trying to convince

Myself that it is?
