THE MISSION



"I'll go."
The words
filled with fear and joy
raged in my mind.
"It would be hard"
They said.
"I would make it"
They said.
I didn't know,
This was all I had known.
Security was here,
Uncertainity was there.
To leave in order,
to return.
I stepped forward,
Forgeting or not remembering?
Darkness swelled around me,
A scream escaped my lips
as a hand slapped me
and I breathered
my first breath
of life.
