I’m sitting in my trench

Cold wet and shaking

Like a tree in the howling wind

Its time to go up

To the front to fight

To go against the Germans

To win the battle

I’m fighting now

I will keep fighting

To never give up

As long as I shall live

I give it everything I got

Like a silver medallist

Aiming for gold

Right now I’m terrified

I try to hide it away

I don’t want to get distracted

It’s a do or die situation

I just lost someone very close

He’s lying next to me now

As we keep fighting

I wonder what went through his mind

Was it quick for him? like a lightning bolt?

Was there pain? Like falling off a cliff into a big pile of rocks ?

I guess ill never know
