The Life of a Soldier

Samantha

I live a life of fear.

I am abandoned.

I am scaried.

I am crying right now.

For i am lonely,

but not alone.

I am sitting in this dengy, old room

surrounded by men and women

with guns.

All i have is a pistal

in my hand.

I can either put it to my head

and call it a quit

or fight and defend

for my hoes safety

and freedom.

 

I shot the man that came

through that door.

He died under my breath.

My itter breath.

 

I may have killed a man that day;

But you are still alive

and i am still a hero.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I have always wanted to be in the Army. This is how i invision a day; a day i will fear and memorize for the rest of my life. From every word to every sound and every emotion i felt. I will walk out of that room someday and say "Lord, thank you for letting me and my team be the ones safe and not like the man on the floor. Thank you."
