Going To War
Some decisions are easy to make
when you know what's at stake
I would go to war
for those that I care for
if my family needed me
I would find it easy
to risk my own life
or live with stress or strife
Fear is strong
but I know where I belong
I've previously commited
despite my being timid
to protect my flag
now I must pack my bags
I truly believe
that I must leave
and return to my love
or meet again up above
fear makes us shake
but for my family's sake
I go off to fight
with courage, with might
It is for the best
that I endure this test
I hope to return home
with the glory of Rome
upon my homecoming,
to you I will come running
After this war,
just like before,
we will be with eachother
and so will my brothers
I will return to you my love
or we will reunite up above.

Hey, I'm not sure if these are your words actually speaking in the poem, but just by being able to understand them makes you brave :) Keep being who you are and let it show in your work.
