Slowly I awake,

Try to move and then I think,

Did I lose or did I win?

I cannot go through this again.

I move my hand to feel around,

I hear nothing, not a sound....

Looking down, I see my wound,

Suprised that my life resumed...

The doctor comes in and sees me awake,

She tells me what is at steak...

One wrong move and I could die,

But I can't lose him, I must try...

I get up, using almost all the strength I had,

Almost collapsing, I hurt so bad.

The doctor said I am unstable,

But I told her I am able,

Not really knowing if I am or not.

But I must push on with what hope I've got.

I find my battle gear and get prepared,

At this point, I have no time to be scared.

I look at myself and feel the fear,

But I look back, atleast I made it here.

A little confidence is growing in me,

A lot of strength that others can see.

I grab my helmet and pick up my gun,

My journey has now begun....

There's a war to win.
