I am alive, I wonder what is next, I hear the fire, I see the enemy, I want to live, I am afraid, I pretend I'm not here, I feel the shaking of the ground, I touch the my muddy trench, I worry for the next attack, I cry in my sleep, I am done killing, I understand I must fight to the bitter end, I say the war should be over, I dream of a better place, I try to cope with the dead beside me, I hope my fellow soldiers fight beside me, I am the front line.
