To some all it is is an empty field, to others it's a place to gather, for me  how ever it's a memory. Approaching that mound knowing the out come is in my hands I let out a breath and the scene changes, watching the last strike cross the plate holding my head up high knowing I'll get another chance  Deep breath, now I'm back at the mound while team picking me up telling me we got this. Exhaling walking away that day not realizing I'd be changed forever  You see an empty field I see a past you see grass I see teammates you see joy I feel pain.... The baseball diamond.

One the moment i decided it was done
Two the day i started a new
Three spreading my wings and setting myself free
Four knowing he would hit me no more
Five closing my eyes and taking that dive
Six never looking Back my emotions in a mix
Seven hanging myself praying there was a heaven
Eight coming back it must have been fate
Nine my present and past intertwine
Ten hoping one day I'll bee free of sin

The worlds not free i pay every day with my life  not fitting in with old friends not in with my own family being angry all the time frustrated with myself, away from the ones i love having my body pushed to its limit every day hating the next morning being alone pushing every one away not feeling worth any ones time figuring if i don't come back they'll remember me for who i was not who i am that's the price of freedom that's how your freedoms paid for by people like me sacrificing everything for  strangers who often don't even support us yet we give them our all and sometimes even our lives...
