Only a dream

See the faces of the fallen
Lost in support of this cause
Supression fire loud on the left
No decision is without flaws
Fear and blood
Like sucking on a penny
Gunpowder and sand
The last scents known to many
A startle and a quick jump up
Awaken with a scream
The sheets on the bed are soft and inviting
Only a dream, only a dream.

I found this scary. You are a great writer.

Wonderful job with the senses. I was thinking about how it truly brings you into this world in it's few lines, and now I know why.
Favorite line had to be "Gunpowder and sand
The last scents known to many"
Horrifying, heartbreaking, and eye opening all at once. Bravo lady

Scary! But I think you succeeded in letting the reader know what you were trying to pass through.
