First Line: Sometimes it's hard to listen

First Line: Sometimes it's hard to listen
Last Line: To everything but pain!
Subject(s): Duty
Sometimes it's hard to listen
When the voice of duty calls;
Sometimes the spirit wants to fly
Outside protective walls.
Sometimes keen disillusion
Falls on the heart like rain,
And swift tears blind my vision
To everything but pain!
