The Chopper

The bag was bigger than I was. 

And definitely as heavy as me.

I struggled to carry it, bruising my knee in the process.

'Ohmygod' I exclaimed.

As I slowlyyyy walked out of bunk to the meeting point.

The weight was unbearable.

After inspection, we proceeded to Phoenix.

It was hell. -

I could barely breathe, as the hill got steeper, and my frail body got pressed down.

By the time we reached on top, I could barely feel my body.

I was covered in sweat.

I sighed as I dropped the load.

The cadets around me noticed.

'Wow, how heavy is your bag? Definitely heavier than ours.'

They tried carrying it. Asked me a lot of questions. I felt like some celebrity at some point.

Being bombarded by paparazzi.

But most of all I felt dead tired. And it was only just the beginning.

The chopper came for each detail. 

I was in the last. Apparently with LFT R too.

He smirked at me as I carried my heavy bag as the last chopper ride came.

The wind was so strong, and I faced away from it, so that the sand wouldn't go in my eyes.

When it landed, we ran to its direction. 

I RAN. With all that load. Crazy.

I lost my gortex jacket in the process, as I shielded my eyes, and boarded the chopper.

Seat belt buckled, crammed. The chopper flew off.

It was interesting. As I felt the world around me revolved.

A little like a rollercoaster ride.

Except.. there was a possibility of crashing.

In about 15 minutes we arrived at our destination.

JV.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another day wasted I guess.

Wasted pondering on life.

Well not completely.

I guess I was finally able to get my ass off and be productive.

It's my last day off.

I'm finally headed back to camp tomorrow.

It's been so long.

Who knows, maybe something new will be awaiting.

I've somehow lost my faith.

Battling my inner demons.

I need to renew it somehow.

I need to fight on.

Till black & blue.

Like a wounded warrior.

Love, Eran.

Fight on.

Current Song Mood: Sia - Black And Blue

Break down, tears fall to the ground

Tell myself: Do it, nothing can be found

When you’re a fighter

You’re a fighter

You’re a fighter, fight on baby

Somedays I’m sure I’ve lost the faith

Somedays I cannot find my faith

But I just fight on

I just fight on

I just fight on baby, baby

And I am Wounded Warrior

And now that the enemy is close and in

I am a Wounded Warrior

Looking for someone to let me in

Black and blue, I’m begging you

Take me in, I’m surrendering

Black and blue, but if I’m with you

If I’m with you, I’ll live to fight althrough

I’ll let go, walking into the unknown

If I surrender, if I lay my arms down

Am I a fighter?

Am I a fighter?

Cause I’ve been fighting so long baby

And I Am Wounded Warrior

And now that the enemy is close and in

I am Wounded Warrior

Looking for someone to let me in

Black and blue, I’m begging you

Take me in, I’m surrendering

Black and blue, but if I’m with you

If I’m with you, I’ll live to fight althrough

I am Wounded Warrior

Now that the enemy is close and in

I am Wounded Warrior

Looking for someone to let me in

I am Wounded Warrior

Now that the enemy is close and in

Close and in

Looking for someone to let me in, oh

Black and blue, I’m begging you

Take me in, I’m surrendering

Black and blue, but if I’m with you

If I’m with you, I’ll live to fight althrough
