My Last Stand - Free Verse Poem

As we run through no man’s land,
My fear grows, my worry worsens.
Bullets rain down around us.
All you can hear is screams of pain and terror.
Bombs explode all around,
As if they are drops of rain,
Coming from the dark clouds above.
Faces look back at me,
Fear in their glassy eyes.
Some my brothers,
Some my foes.
Sweat drips down my face,
Mixing with dirt and blood along the way.
My wounds hurt.
My cuts sting,
But that doesn’t hold me back.
An ear splitting scream stops me in my tracks.
I turn around
Too see two of my squad lying on the ground.
My commander calls out for me,
But I ignore him.
No one is left behind.
I run,
But I forget the main thing,
And I am soon
Caught in the trap.
