Wasting away
One day at a time
Counting each note
Reading each line
Shining like the sun
Twinkling like the stars
Listening to echo’s
Way off afar
Lost in illusions
Of better days
Giving up on everything
Fading further away
Further from where I started
The path I did take
The ground begins to burn
And violently shake
Contorting my vision
Changing my view
And the fog that’s now present
I cannot see through
Though I search
Without guidance each day
Waiting to be woken
And taken away

I'm a poet by nature and a Soldier by trade and my writing reflects my experiences not only in life but also in war. I use writing as way to express myself and deal with the horrors I've seen and hope my words can help my fellow Veterans.
