Going To War
Some decisions are easy to make
 when you know what's at stake
 
 I would go to war
 for those that I care for
 if my family needed me
 I would find it easy
 to risk my own life
 or live with stress or strife
 
 Fear is strong
 but I know where I belong
 I've previously commited
 despite my being timid
 to protect my flag
 now I must pack my bags
 
 I truly believe
 that I must leave
 and return to my love
 or meet again up above
 fear makes us shake
 but for my family's sake
 I go off to fight
 with courage, with might
 
 It is for the best 
 that I endure this test
 I hope to return home
 with the glory of Rome
 upon my homecoming,
 to you I will come running
 
 After this war,
 just like before,
 we will be with eachother
 and so will my brothers
 I will return to you my love
 or we will reunite up above.

Hey, I'm not sure if these are your words actually speaking in the poem, but just by being able to understand them makes you brave :) Keep being who you are and let it show in your work.
