"My Last Day"

We are nervous and prepared

So when we arrive at boot camp, then we are not scared

We passed and now we have got gas

So now we face the challenge, and we cannot be like glass

We laugh and giggle until we all suddenly cry

We fight and fight so we won’t lose and ask us, why?

As it starts small and then it gets bigger

It’s all started just because we pulled a trigger

The loss of one and the loss of another

It hurts more because that was our brother

When I come back, I get sent back

And I am ready for another snack

We fire, we eat, we shower

There is no time for some flowers

So as they fire, we fire, we are now going to beat that frier

As they lost and we won I finally stepped on their wire

When I woke up, I opened my eyes, I realized it was me

I won it, I won the medal and now I’m free.

So now I see a light and reunite with my brothers

From whom I started having love just like no others

So I wrote this poem because my parents dont want me to join the Army. In addition, my sister was in the Air Force and has PTSD when she finished her deploment in Afghanistan. I wrote this poem with a rhyme because this poem has emotions throughout the whole poem. In the poem the first stanza was about me how I join the US Army, I passed boot camp. The second stanzais about me getting deployed in Iraq, lost a coupple of my felow brothers. In the third staza after I come back, I get sent back again but his time I step in a landmine and get blowned up. The last stanza is me meeting my fellow brothers in heaven from I lost in the war.

This poem is for me but I will love to share this out with everyone
