Battle Lost

I feel it in the air

Despair

Battle fought, battle lost

A fight that cost

Can’t look, don’t dare

My brain can’t bear

What’s behind me

Want to see

What’s wrong

Stay strong

I shout

Can’t find out

Why I didn’t die

I just cry

Turn round

Death owns the ground

There’s nothing like

The horrid site

Of great friends

When their life ends

Raise my gun

Why was I the only one?

Bullet through my head

Then I’m dead.

Hmm

This is a very mindboggling piece, yes? 'Battle Lost' stupefies me, because your friends die first, then you kill yourself. Are you nothing without your friends? Can you not stand alone? I learn that incompetent soldiers are usually the first to get hurt, because they are either complacent or just being sophomoric by horseplaying. Note to you by a special friend, anything worth having is worth fighting for, and anything worth fighting for is worth winning over. You have gotten to the end of the battle and there is silence, and you kil yourself, because you see deceased loved ones and they spell rancid? My belief as a soldier myself is if they went in battle with you, then would want you to carry on with the fight, so their death would not be vain. I'm just saying. It saddens me that you would rather die then continue the fight. Thank you for your lovely poem. Please feel freely to comment mine as well.
