With your heart of iron
you block me out
All i feel is the chill of the armor
you've made for yourself.
I feel like nothing more than a toy soldier
standing at attention in your presence
so weak, so feeble,
I'd just fall at a swipe of the hand.
I stand on a make believe battlefield
waiting for my turn to be
moved.
Praying that I don't fall
or break under the stress
of the raging battle.
As I'm moved into play,
my heart beats heavy,
my pulse quickens.
You move me into the thickest
of the combat, i begin to
cry, not from fear,
but anger and hatred
of my enemy.
As i raise my musket and prepare to fire.
I momentarily hesitate,
as the thought of taking
another life enters my
mind.
I fire and watch as the other
toy soldier falls broken...
I fix my bayonet
and prepare to charge.
As i start to run, i yell
the fiercest battle cry,
I look to my left.
Then to my right
Seeing my comrades doing
the same as me.
It fills me
with hope
that i might
survive.
The sound of a bullet buzzing by,
the distant thud of artillery.
Then a sharp pain courses
thru my body
as i'm thrown
down like a rag doll.
I scream in horror
as i notice
my leg is
gone.
A medic rushes to my side
I try to force myself to crawl
into a freshly made
crater.
as he tends to my wound,
i feel useless, almost unable
to carry on...
the blood loss is too much.
But just as i lose conciousness,
I hear the trumpet sound
and the cheers of victory.
Thousands lay dead and dieing,
including me.
Did any of it really mean anything?
Was it worth our lives
to take this
fort?
Or was it just for your greed
pleasure,
or ego?
All i get for my blood sweat and tears
is a tombstone
on a hill.
I hate everything about her
The way she walks,
The way she looks
at me when she passes by,
So why can't
I get
her off my fucking mind?
She's all i can think about
and it's killing me.
Because of how bad she hurt me
The things she did,
The games she played...
oh how empty i was left inside.
All i feel is anger n misery
SO WHY MUST I CONTINUE TO LOVE HER??
WHHYYY?

Oh wow....
this one i relate to
Get where you are coming from.
The soft green leaves upon the tree
Sway gently in the wind.
the warm spring breeze kisses them
They do not know a storm approaches
A storm that will bring
the lightning and the rain
The soft green leave--
They fall to the ground
With the roar of lightning all around
The leaves are no longer soft and green
nor are they longer
upon the tree
I've been thrown out like a discarded glove.
Nowhere I can lay my head at night, Nor be warm n cozzy in a bed.
Wandering the long black roads on a cold winter's night is all that awaits me now.
Why Mother?
Why Father?
Why have i been discarded?
Am I not Loved?
Am I just a Mistake that the two of you made together?
Should I not have been Born?
Why father have you cast me aside, you have been out
of my Life since I was three Months old, so Why now do
You return just to throw me away again?
Dear Mother, Why have you given up on me?
Is it not Enough that I work myself to Death for you?
To pay for everything that is "Yours".
I'm sorry I'm not like my Brother or Sister.
I'm sorry that I'm not the perfect Child you wanted me to be.
Would you be happy with me Bloody and Lifeless on my bedroom floor,
In a puddle of My Own Crimson Red Fluid spilt From My Veins?
Or hanging From the Peach Tree in the backyard?
Or maybe with all of My Thoughts Scattered against the Bathroom wall
With my Shotgun at my Feet?
Or even an Empty Pill Bottle by my Bedside and Me Blue and Cold as Ice?
