Firing Squad

i feel the darkness surround me, i know what fate lies ahead, i sense the fear take over me, i know i will soon be dead, i hear the ground beneath me, i know i must face my end, i sense the guns select me, their bullets my only friend, the darkness is drawn from me, and the light forced in my face, i see the rifles before me, my body now frozen in space, i see my life spread out before me, i see my oncoming end, i hear the triggers pulled for me, a bullet, the message they send, i felt the darkness surround me, their sights locked to my head, i no longer have fear inside me, my body now lies dead.

Amazing work! This piece just bleeds emotion and a deeper meaning. It actually brings to mind a soldier at war, being captured. Excellent work, I can't wait to read more!
