English I have been writing poems since I was little but just decided to publish them to a greater audience than just my friends and family. My friend Kaylee and Ben showed me this site and Ben suggested I publish my poems so please feel free to comment.
He crouches in the drench Waiting for his enemy to walk by He stays still despite the stench He sees his enemy out of the corner of his eye He stays still As the enemy gets near It's unfortunate that he must **** But he does it so his countrymen can live with no fear This time he managed to escape with his life So that he may make it back home to his wife Next time he might not make it But his name we will never forget After months away He manages to rest for a day He's the unknown soldier He gives it all for the flag When he can no longer make it to be any older We bury him a soldier, a hero fighting for the flag That now rests on his casket I'll send a dozen roses in a basket I can never forget the soldier who laid his life on the line So that I could live mine.

"Unknown Soldier"
Memories of you haunt me Visions of us together taunt me Too bad it wasn't meant to be You knew that all along so why Didn't you just tell me? Did you enjoy living the lie? Inhale lies Exhale pain With bloodshot eyes I scream your name I cried I couldn't breathe I almost died You wouldn't believe The pain I felt because of you When you said that we were through. You were my drug injected under my skin Everyday I fight to retain sanity But I just can't win Because my next fix will never be. When we see each other you act like you don't know my name Yet your memories still fill me with so much shame. Inhale lies Exhale pain With bloodshot eyes I scream your name. Now no matter what you say My pain will never go away Throughout the years I shed so many tears I used to be love drunk But now I'm sober because it's all over. I inhaled your lies And exhaled pain My eyes are no longer bloodshot Because now it's my name you can't forget.

"Inhale, Exhale"
Somebody save me My future is fading into black Once i pull the trigger there will be no turning back Why must this be? What's this vision of beauty I see Past all my pain Will she lend me an ear Or have me cry out in vain? I've been hurt so much before That I can't help but say no more Her glance ends all hostility And I realize she's the girl for me I was at the end of my rope But now I have a new hope For her beauty is my salvation If not for her I'd face eternal damnation.

"Salvation"
Why did you have to rip our child from the womb ? Why did you have to send him to his eternal tomb? Why couldn't you let me be a happy father? You say you have an explanation but don't even bother. Would having our child having their first breath really be a crime? Why do you look at it as stopping it just in time? No matter how you look at it you took a life Doesn't matter if it was by scalpel or knife. You ended a gift from God You act like it doesn't bother you But I know that's a facade Because that could never be true. Now I pick up my pen So that you can see the beauty within For a child is a beautiful gift If you take it away you create a permanent rift. Some say it is a choice But I say we need to hear their unspoken voice Let them live For we do not know if your sin God can forgive.

"Anit-Abortion"
I feel you pulsing through my veins This feeling will never be gone Because the feeling will always remain I have a feeling that you are the one If I brushed your hair aside And our lips met Would you try and hide Or make this a moment we never forget. I wake to visions of you You're always on my mind This I know to be true I'm feeling this for the first time. This time I can't hide how I feel Because it's the sweetest thing I know is real. When I think of you I can't help but smile No matter what if I'm with you I'm having fun all the while.

"Subliminal Sonnet"
I waited so long for you to say Those three words to me But at the end of the day It was never meant to be. So now I'm broken These tears are soaking Through Thanks to you. I told you so many times That I wanted you But you told me a thousand times That I didn't want you. I gave you my all But in the end everyone Has to have a great fall When they can no longer see the sun. So now I'm broken These tears are soaking Through Thanks to you. I sit here with a heart full of stone And a chill resonates in my bones All because Our love never was.

"Broken"
I love you The three hardest words for him to say He wanted them to be said Because they're true He thought about them every day Replayed them over and over in his head He wonders if she feels the same He asked himself time and time again Does she know my name? Not knowing got under his skin. To compare this to chess would be obscene, For while I am a lowly pawn she is a radiant queen He can't bear to know if he got down on a knee Would she say yes and say that she loves me? As he brushes the hair from her face He manages to smile past his former disgrace.

"Love"
I hide what I feel inside For fear of what you might say. If life is like a roller ride Then mine could fly off the tracks any day. Music eases my troubled soul And relieves my stress as a whole. If you were to come in my room You wouldn't see my inner gloom. I smile on the outside So that you won't realize I'm dead on the inside. If you really looked into my eyes You'd find the reveal all my outward lies. I am impossible to label no matter how hard you try Because I'll retain my individuality until the day I die. I fall too easily Even though I know You could never love me I still smile and keep up the show. I try to look on the brighter side But I see so much pain When you see the true person they hide Your thoughts would never be the same. I don't care to fit in If you were like me And had to live in my skin You is all you'd want to be.

"The Me Nobody Would Ever See"
They call it suicide But on the inside we've already died. You say you care But when I needed you no one was there. I put the gun to my temple But you're really pulling the trigger. When you look at the pistol Do you realize that your mistake was much bigger? I gave you all I had But it not being enough made you mad. I gave you my heart But you preferred to rip it out. When I asked if you could hear It fell on a deaf ear Despite all that was said You didn't hear a single word. But now that I'm dead Maybe what I had to say will stick in your head.

"Isolation"
Why can't I see through these bloodshot eyes? Why do I need this poison so bad? Why can't anyone see past all my lies? Why when you help do I get mad? I stuck the needle in my arm I thought I could handle it But I didn't contemplate the harm Now the pain I felt I can never forget. I feel the poison entering my veins Temporarily alleviating my pains But when it wears off I'll need another dose Being able to get close to people is what I miss the most. I needed you but you needed a needle Thats how I feel When I look down in the casket and realize it's real Your pride was crushed long ago like a beetle You pushed everyone away And yet At the end of the day No one will forget How you needed drugs And when you asked for help it was met by shrugs
