Cries, piercing my ears making them ring.
The world is swaying around me,
as I try to make sense of what has happen.
war. dead bodies, all around me.
Grief threatening the soldiers,
tearing them to pieces as reality hits them,
just as it has done to me.
The world tips around me,
greeted by backness I try to stay awake,
One more day. I must stay awake one more day.
Light meet my eyes as relief filled my body almost as if acknowledging theres hope for me.
loneliness interrupts my thoughts.
deserted. companionless. left to die with my brothers.
No, I can not do that to my country. My family
I must fight.
blackness threatens my sight again as I struggle to sit
overcome by dizziness, my arms give out
Dropping me onto my stomach.
I will live. I will fight.
I get up again. This time prepared.
inching myself forward as if im a snail.
I will make it.
Thump! Thump! Thump! The soldiers stomp on the battle field.
Don't they notice me?
They trudged along, one accidentally crushing my hand beneath their mud covered boot
and I realize that they are going to leave me here to die.
