   2nd Poem
This one I wrote during a civics class about 2 years ago. The inspiration was that song "My Vietnam" by Pink. Funny eh?


~The war within myself~


I’m just sitting here thinking. Thinking about a new plan. A plan to win this war within myself

It takes place in my head. I wish that the bombs would stop falling! I wish that the war would just end.

Why does this war, seem to never wanna stop? Why did it happen to me? I want it to end, but it won’t.

It’s a raging, bloody, fearless war. But when it ends, who has the score?
This is a battle that I boar,….. through my whole life.

I’m losing my life in this war. I look around and all I see is bullets flying, people falling, blood gushing, and my life slipping farther and farther away. And then I see the last soldier fall.

There are no more bullets to shoot, no more people to be killed, and no more blood to spill. The bombs have stop falling, you no longer hear men yelling. Yelling orders, yelling out their pain. I no longer see the war raging within my head.

I now see my life no longer falling farther away from me. I see my future. But don’t know if I’ll ever get to live it.

I fell. I fell hard and heavy, I fell to the ground. And I didn’t get back up. Then I finally realized that I was the last soldier to fall. I died in the war against myself. That’s why the war has ended.
