You're halfway between life and death, Soldier
But you still fight on
The storm continues to rage
And many lives have gone

You're a soldier
Fighting in this war
Your gun wounds and kills
Around you pools blood and gore

How long will you last, Soldier?
I'm afraid for you
I'm afraid you wont return
I pray to God you do

Remember who the enemy is, Soldier
And don't look behind
Stay strong
Don't let the screams fill your mind

Win this battle, Soldier
Listen to the cannons roar
I beg of you, survive
Above the enemy you shall soar

C'mon, Soldier
Defeat the rival
You're stronger than them
This is a war of survival

Keep battling, Soldier
I wish not to lose you
Resist the overpowering of the enemy
Think not of the men you slew


The author's comments:
A good friend of mine inspired me to write this. She is depressed because of her bad life, which has caused her to drink, do drugs, and self harm. This poem is mainly about her fighting to get through her struggles and to win this war she has been battling in.
