To Heaven and Back

To Heaven and Back I have been through enough, I can't take much more I've seen the pearly gates, I've knocked on heavens doors Unfortunately for me, it just wasn't my time I was returned to this hell, now my mind is entwined My brain is tangled, my thoughts are seriously confused I witnessed my own death, but yet I came back merely bruised I felt the bullets, like snake bites piercing my heart I rose from myself, heading up expecting a new start Everything went pure white, the world around me was no more I made damn sure I left the pain with my body, bloody on the floor I was in two places at once, both on street and in the sky Then I was in one place, but it wasn't where I wanted to reside I woke up, half concussed and my body was bruised and scratched up I had two holes in my heart, one of them the doctors couldn't patch up The first hole was still aching, just another scar over my heart I would breath a while longer, with a mark where I was torn apart The second hole was gaping, and my soul it was raping I had a chance to leave this place, but God just wouldn't take me

I am 20 years old, fresh out of boot camp. Infantry for life, hooah.
