I fear it.
The ticking bomb, waiting to claim me.
The terrorist the doctors try to talk down,
But they approach in tanks -
Use drones to try and cure me.
But success is not always the end game,
There is always collateral damage;
I fear it will be me.
I like what you are doing here and you have used the 'conflict' metaphor effectively (and how appropriate it is too). Take out those 'buts' though would be my advice. You don't need them and no poem should have any unnecessary word in it.
