Life is a Beach
....."Life is a Beach"..... by Ego Amigo 18 year old, fresh faced teen, Grew up in the Midwest, beach unseen, Dreamed of a day, he'd finally get a chance, After graduation, he'd finally get a glance. Water in my lungs, gun powder in the air, Taste of blood on my tongue, but I don’t care, Just out of reach, gotta make it to the shore, Finally made it to the beach, no bikinis anywhere. All I feel is burning lead, Never felt so ALIVE, Does this mean I will be dead, All I want is to SURVIVE. Sun in my face, fellow soldiers give chase, The worst wicked rat race, most left in despair, Lying on my back, too many pounds in my pack, Got sand in every crack, should have asked for a hammock, I've brought too many clothes to wear. All I feel is burning lead, Never felt so ALIVE, Does this mean I will be dead, All I want is to SURVIVE, I close my eyes,
