Will I die today?

A bullet zips past my head.
Dust, gunpowder, shrapnel,
  the screams of fallen brothers.
Will I die today?
My legs buckle with fear,
My arms shake with anxiety,
My lips quiver with trepidation.
Will I die today?
A bullet cuts through an artery.
Blood and mist sprays without cease,
I clutch my wound screaming:
Will I die today?
