Life of a warrior

I climbed a mountain today. I thought along the way. Why must I feel this sadness, this unceasing pain. I climbed a mountain today. I begged, pleaded, and cried alone all the way. When I reached the top, there was no cliff to jump off. I climbed a mountain today. When you need guidance, strength, or divine intervention. Climb a mountain and you'll find none, I think I should just get a gun. I climbed a mountain today. Because all the spirits and Gods left us so long ago.

I've been dealing with depression and anxiety the best of my ability unfortunately that means I shut down from time to time

Ok so I've come up with some rules for addressing me and my fellow veterans. 1 be respectful Seriously I shouldn't need to tell people this 2 don't talk about gun control with us because no matter our stance on it I fought for the right for you to bitch 3 I do my job to the best of my ability so unless it's constructive or informative shut up 4 I fought for my country you didn't so don't talk down to me 5 I can end a life from 600 yards without a scope so don't piss me off
