I Am (WW2)

I am a living soldier stuck in a world of dead. I wonder if I will become one of them. I hear screams of pain and agony, I see bodies all around me. I am a living soldier stuck in a world of dead. I pretend not to notice the danger with every step. I feel the wetness of the trenches, and the rats at my feet. I touch the shoulder of a fallen man. I worry I will be next. I cry for I am weak I am a living soldier stuck in a world of dead. I understand my moment can come at anytime. I say they can not break me, I dream of peace and to go home. I try to say the day will come I hope to stay strong I am a living soldier stuck in a world of dead.
