Brothers by Cody Bassett
Go by
The alias of:
No one.
To 3 people at a pub
I was
The invincible,
Unkillable,
Eternal superman.
I was a soldier with alcoholism
Sipping tea
Because I
Was stronger than what plagued me.
I was Cody.
I was the one who
Would outlive everyone
Else through
Sheer willpower.
To these 3 I was
A person.
Those days I curled up
And begged for Death
Seemed far away
Even though they
Were just yesterday.
I want to thank
The Marine and
The Airman
For supporting
This wounded
Soldier
