I strap on my boots I tighten my vest I buckle on a 30 pound belt I put on my badge I say bye to my loved ones I walk out the door with hopes I’ll come back I pray to God for protection I leave my own issues and stresses at the door I check into my squad car I patrol your neighborhood I place your security on my shoulders I go in when there’s an intruder I stop fights I stop threats I stop burglaries and thefts I stop drug abuse I stop child abuse I stop rapes, murders, and other issues I’m your first line of defense I’ll give my life to protect yours My safety is constantly in jeopardy I see only your worst of times I put on your stress But You yell at me You hate me You don’t agree with me You call me a pig, a bully, crooked, trigger happy, no good, and useless You fight me You spit on me You try to kill me You teach your kids I’m a monster that’ll take them away You judge my every move You question my decisions You complain about me And yet I don’t get offended With my loved ones suffering my absence With my pay barely enough to get by I’m still here for you I’ll be an ear for you I’ll still fight for you I’ll still stand for you With muscle knots on my back With sweaty palms With tears held back With cuts and bruises With my life on the line I’ll still protect you I maintain the Peace I protect the Weak I serve the Needs I am a POLICE OFFICER Written by Officer Ybarra (NYPD)
