I was drafted to fight this bloody war

Just this year I found out my bad state

Though I feel as if I've known this before

Still, casualties this war will create


Bullets fly by with hard intent to kill

The enemy wants me to surrender

But I stay strong and only take one pill

This body's mine, I am its defender


I did not ask to be thrown into this

The war came to me, it gave me no say

This drafted soul of mine can't call it quits

But this war could last 'til my dying day


My mental state might end up killing me

But I have to fight cause I'm a draftee
