Can't Break a Spirit
Location
I run in the ice
I run for the sun
The frost did follow
I was the only one
I thought if I keep going
And I don't make a stand
It'll all mean nothing
No matter how far I ran
I sat there and shivered
I almost froze
When death's at your door
Anything goes
Some words were spoken
Directed at me
"I'm going to break you
Now you'll see"
As I sat there in horror
And stared death in the face
I looked to the heavens
As tears rolled down my face
And I stood firm
As the darkness fell on
Because you can't break a spirit
That's already gone
The ice came upon me
And all my tears froze
There's two ways to die here
A bullet I chose
I leveled my weapon
To meet my mind
And just at that moment
I was no longer blind
A sound in the distance
Chop-chop-chop I heard
A voice began speaking
"Can you hear me, sir?"
The chopper came down
I lowered my gun
Two medics rushed out
I heard, "Stay with me, son"
And as I blacked out
Death's scream I could hear it
"I'm going to break you"
You can't break my spirit!
I woke up in a bed
With mother at my side
I held her loving hand
And together we cried
Never give up...
