War is terrible. It is lonely, violent, and depressing
It has driven me to the brink
I hate war
I despise it with a burning passion
I want no part of it anymore, however, I cannot leave
I cannot fake injury, either, because they know I want to get out
They are suspicious
I must get out, in any way possible
I must take my life
That is the only way out
They have backed me in a corner
I grab my knife, and with a flip of the wrists, I slit my throat
It was all over
Even though this piece was kind of violent, I really enjoyed it because it connects to a real life feeling or situation. For example, you said, "War is terrible. It is lonely, violent, and depressing." This line makes me think of everyone who is out at war across the world who are lonely because they are away from their families, friends and other loved ones. Overall, i think what made this poem great was the connections it made to the world.
ReplyDeletenot really, what made it great was the pain he suffered that in the end didn't matter because he lost anyways and killed himself.
