Trapped
Trapped
Waiting all alone
Fear gripping his insides
The soldier waits for them to come
Bringing with them
What he knows will be his death
The others have all left
For safer ground they say
They explained it was of courage
As they pay tribute to his memory
When really it was of fear
The soldier waits in the tower
Sweat dripping as the enemies approach
He waits and watches in hidden safety
Screaming within his mind
His muscles pull taught with determination
As he decides how he will face his death
Charging in he screams,
As the bullets hit
