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."
