A Soldiers Mind

by Dylan   Sep 24, 2009


My mind was stunned when i sat in my trench and saw my friends my family get gunned. The screaming, the gas has melded my insignificant mind for yet the pain has made me long for my wife and kids but that is long away because i have a fear of dying today. My journal is full and our enemies are rushing at us like a pack of untamed bull. the dream of happiness has washed out of my mind for yet that is one more thing i will never be able to find. My wife is probably wondering if I'm still alive and even i am wondering if i will survive. The gun fire is all gone, all is silent as i lay wondering if the troops have been withdrawn. the silence is then broken by a foul sound that blinds, of a screaming shell heading for our front lines. I stand and place my palm upon the ground to feel it shake, i break down not able to stay calm. When night finally falls then enemy crawls. I wait for morning to come and hopefully will forget some. When morning dawns around here i look to my peers, they glance and turn back now starts my morning fears. These ways will probably go on for the rest of my days. i just have one last thing to say salute to our fellow soldiers, the weight of our countries freedom rests upon your shoulders.
