im not very good at poetry but its a way to express my emotions without causing pain to myself like before. if it wasnt for poetry, who knows where i would be?
observing all these young men and women give up everything that they have just because theyve got an extreme amount of nationalism caring so much about their country they are willing to go and die for it sure they may think about how their families feel but only for a second theyre more worried about defending this terrible country they say "land of the free and home of the brave", but then they wont let us say what is on our minds without getting in trouble those being drafted are just getting brainwashed though they dont even know it never trying to do more than what they are told to do and it is because of all the propaganda buts its because of all this "that we have all the freedom we have" (which is none by the way) and its because of all this "that we are the greatest country in the world" (which is also ******** were going to war to just prove that we are stupid enough to try and fight everyone who'll ask and its really all because of the young men and women who are willing to give up everything they have to die over this ridiculous country the call The United States of America!

The Draft
I...I love him... He doesn't love me. I am a pawn, in this chess game of love and he is the player, he decides my fate, he chooses what I do. He can make me skip school, have *** with him, and if he leaves me and never talks to me...I wouldn't want to take a shower because i would be afraid his scent would wash away from me, I'd stay up all night thinking and remembering the way he would breath, how he would laugh and his smile. I would crave his touch and I wouldn't go to school. He controls me. And I don't know if I want to be controlled. I'm so terrified that tomorrow he will choose that he no longer needs me and I'm terrified he will leave me.

I'm just a pawn
i feel like i have fallen in love experiencing this feeling is something i wouldnt change for the world no matter how long we havent spoke to each other he is always there telling me that he has been waiting for the day in which i would speak to him again he lives in a different country, far away form my own home but distance means nothing to us we have both been wishing for the day that we finally meet so we can express our love physically to look deep into each others eyes just to prove, that the emotions aren't unreal but until that day comes, i will be waiting here patiently however, i will never forget that in my head i will always be thinkingand waiting, just to finally be able to say K****, i love you

Love (10w)
Alcohol drowns my sorrows, smoking numbs my pain ya i might lose my lungs and my liver but it s nothing compared to what i feel in my heart the aching and the breaking like its dividing into to itty-bitty pieces i feel like you're killing me but don't worry, lucky for me its just cancer.

Substance Abuse
God-    is he there? i turn to him in a time of need but it seems as if hes too busy for me however, i eventually get answers as i sit and wait to hear his advise it causes me to just stop and listen i try to figure out solutions to my problems something i wouldn't be able to do without asking him first but now i realize we dont always have to look up at the sky for answers because if we look a little deeper in oursleves you'll start to notice that he is in our hearts so therefore, We Are The Lord

We Are The Lord
Facebook- deal with all of your friends drama that's none of your business Twitter- read about all the pointless things that celebrities have to say Instagram- look at all these foods that look amazing but you know you'll never get Vine- watch people be ******** and post videos to prove their stupidity Pinterest- scroll through fantastic DIY projects that aren't as easy as they say But there is one different from the others... Hellopoetry- read things that are influential, they affect you in a way that you never thought was possible and it is all in a good way read beautiful scriptures that actually stand for something nonsense doesn't exist on hellopoetry just honest feelings that make you want to relax, enjoy, and just read

sitting here staring at a picture of you i realize ive made a mistake this emptiness inside is killing me i gave everything even what was sacred i thought id be able to make you stay but oh, was i wrong i shouldnt of let you take it i shouldve just waited for that special someone but being young and naive i was desperate you knew all the right words to say you became a pro at playing with my heart and pulling its strings treating me as if i meant everything but nothing all at the same time you played me like the fool that i was but now i realize that im better than you i deserve better than you so i know to stay hidden behind my walls and wait for someone who really care its amazing that i learned so much, just from sitting here staring at a picture of you
