I’m O.K.
LCDR Robert J. Prinselaar©

I’ll admit I’m slightly troubled
and there are times I’m downright sad
When I think back on things that happened
and some of those were really bad
But I’m O.K., I tell you truly
I’m alive, and that’s a lot
I’m better off than some old buddies
Yeah I’m alive, and they are not

There are times I dream about them
But mostly now, I only sleep
I’m telling you I’m doing fine now
Why should I think ‘bout things so deep
I never cry, cause that’s not manly
It’s not the way that I was taught
And what the Hell, it’s all behind me
I’ve put aside just why we fought

I can’t remember all the reasons
There had to be some, I suppose
I do remember, for God and country
but it was more than only those
I lost some friends, for lofty reasons
and they are now forever gone
But I’m O.K., yeah, I’m still living
But sometimes God, I’m so alone
