I am fighting in an army of one
I keep going
I keep my head strait
chin up
shoulders back
Chest forward
I keep marching
I am in an army of one
I do not choose how I feel
When I smile
When I laugh
I just keep marching
Strait ahead
I do not get choose how to act
I don't step out of line
I don't stray from my place
I keep marching
Head strait
Chin up
Shoulders Back
Chest forward
I keep fighting
In my army of one

I like this. You did very well in writing it. In the first two or so lines it feels a little awkward to read, but other than that I enjoyed this. Good job.

Very interesting, I think it brings up how the people around you will always try to control you and how governments never truly give us freedom. 5/5 awesome.
