Captain America: The Frozen Hero

by OppositeOfBatman

Summary:

Short poem about how Steve feels about being frosted and after he's defrosted.

 

 

Encased in ice, like a showpiece for the ocean's enjoyment

I stayed there, cold filling me to my very core

Until my blood was ice, my brain, my body

All were frozen in an eternal darkness.

For seventy years, they said.

I was trapped for seventy years.

I am a man lost in time, but

I was a man lost to time,

Suffering silently,

But I dealt with it,

I welcomed it.

Dying a martyr to save my world,

Was honorable and good.

 

And awoken to a world that's cold,

Hard, so unimpressed. So shiny .

So different from the one I died for.

I question my choice.

This was the future I helped save?

There was so much greed and too much hate.

Would I die to save this world?

Would I die to save this America?

This Land of the Free and Home of the Brave,

The future of my past?

 

Of course, I will.

I will fight,

With everything that I have,

With every ounce of Super Soldier Serum,

Because this America may be stranger and all wrong,

But it's the only thing I have left.

 

 

Notes:

I wanted to write something, so I did. This is my first fandom anything, and it's a poem :) Hope it was enjoyable.
