I am broken although strong.
I wonder how many will wake the next day.
I hear the voices of my fallen comrades.
I see the poisonous fog and the bodies of eternal sleepers.
I want to be in the presence of the beloved.
I am broken although strong.

I pretend the sights dont bother me.
I feel the embrace of my dear friend.
I touch the head of a troubled soul.
I worry that we will not see the end.
I cry for the ones we have lost.
I am broken although strong.

I understand that I cannot give in.
I say that we will win.
I dream that we will go home.
I try to get up.
I hope this will all be over.
I am broken although strong.

I wrote this when I was a sophomore in high school. It was during my history class when we talked about World War II. So sorry if its weird.
