I was told I would be a hero.
A true hero,
Giving my life for my country.
I’d make my family proud.

I now look at the fear stricken faces,
With tears running down their wet cheeks,
About to pummel into the bottomless sea.
I am deeply saddened.
They never got a chance to say goodbye.
Endless screams is all I hear as the plane drops,
Falls,
Dives,
Crashes.

I am no hero.
