Walk Away

The bullet exited the barrel and whistled through the air,
Piercing my Kevlar vest and penetrating my soft skin,
Gasping for air I fall to the ground like a rock,
My vision darkening around the edges.
 
"Corpsman!"
I see him rush towards me, dust kicking up as he,
Slides next to me and puts pressure on my wound,
"Stay with me!" He yells.
 
Bullets whizz past our bodies as I am dragged to a safer place,
My vision blurry now as well,
I could feel my heart beating in my own chest,
I was scared.
 
The Corpsman yells something as my vision goes black,
Followed by a light that beckons for me,
It blinds me as I move closer to it,
Before I turn around and walk away.
