Kubasaki High School
The military is a wise choice, Many rejoice with the notion of a strong voice Military is a long term ride, It takes time to create a strong mind
But what of those who were passive? Who had a massive change Every two, every three, every five years Never getting the chance to plant their feet They feel the want to stay and form roots But they can never get too comfortable Because their seeds keep being pushed around from the waves
Welcome to being a military child New faces and exciting new scenery Stuck with never getting to know who they belong to Unable to know the shortcuts of winding roads Always known as the new kid in town
Welcome to being a military child You can learn more about different cultures Forever unable to understand your own fully It's an experience that you can’t get anywhere else One that you can’t feel alright staying in a place for too long An uncertainty when you’re forced to change your home Because you’ve outgrown the opportunity Unless you decide to trek it yourself
A cycle that recycles itself and gets you nowhere yet everywhere at the same time
The military is a wise choice, To help those who have no voice
But what of those who didn’t have the option? Those that were stuck in the concoction of always worrying about safety But were ultimately forgotten despite their close vicinities
Welcome to being a military child.
