Once again I'm hovering on the edge Looking down into the deep waters A heavy pack on my back, boots, Fully clothed, weapon and Kevlar weighing me down. I don't want to jump. I don't want to. My heart is pounding loud. I'm terrified. I don't want to jump. I don't want to But I will. I must. I feel ill with fear, Green. But at least I'm not A coward Even though, just this once, I wish I could be yellow And not green.
