117 None Like Joshua

March 18th, 2557, 0800 hours
My name is John of the UNSC Navy
The memories of my past are somewhat faint, but mostly dark
When I was younger, I was training to become a supersoldier in the Spartan-II program to protect the human race…even from itself
My duty is to protect humanity at all costs…yet there were others who did the same and I couldn’t protect them, so I wonder how I’m the lucky one

Kidnapped to survive the worst and
While they sit back, write what they observed
While I learned to fight-and-defy their own words
No one would be left behind, I was sure

Born a leader and I swore to see that
The mission I was given was more than completed no I
Couldn’t quit it knowing there’s a friend in need and
The weakest of the team: couldn’t take from me

So the doctors watched me unlock the power
They knew I would lead the group
But never want to mind my p’s and q’s
Wouldn’t need to till I had to bleed through

– So they made us wait under the needle
To enhance our strength, mind and body equal
But the chance to die was too great for people
I remained alive, some met the reaper
