I feel like a ghost floating through a battle field, I am broken, I am afraid, I am a war ghost. Between my teeth And my lips The fighting never ceases, Cracked and Bleeding creases, Cracked and Bleeding pieces, The wars within my mouth. I drift by, Day in, day out, A ghost can’t cry, But she does when alone. A tree is rough, Strong, Sturdy, I am none of these. A tree is silent, …Silent, Which I am, Which I choose to be. A ghost is silent, A ghost is alone, A ghost ignored, A ghost is dead. I am a war ghost. Between my teeth And my lips The fighting never ceases, Cracked and Bleeding creases, Cracked and Bleeding pieces, The wars within my mouth. Let the battle rage on.

War Ghost by Maggie Reeves
I feel like a ghost floating through a battle field, I am broken, I am afraid, I am a war ghost. Between my teeth And my lips The fighting never ceases, Cracked and Bleeding creases, Cracked and Bleeding pieces, The wars within my mouth. I drift by, Day in, day out, A ghost can’t cry, But she does when alone. A tree is rough, Strong, Sturdy, I am none of these. A tree is silent, …Silent, Which I am, Which I choose to be. A ghost is silent, A ghost is alone, A ghost ignored, A ghost is dead. I am a war ghost. Between my teeth And my lips The fighting never ceases, Cracked and Bleeding creases, Cracked and Bleeding pieces, The wars within my mouth. Let the battle rage on.

This was a poem I made for class. We were reading the book Speak and this was one of the poems that I made for the project.
