Psychosis

Little soldier

went off to war

not the navy

or the corps

 

Little soldier

went to battle

with no experience

none at all

 

Inside him he fought'

his own mind

who would've thought '

he'd be the one to die

 

He fought hard

against no one else

Beat and tortured

his own self

 

Little soldier went to war

so fresh and new

but came back home

all tattered and torn

all black and blue

[Helpless]

i'm not sure what to say about this, its kind of rendered me speechless

[Elizabeth Fiske]

When I read this poem, I got the image of a person struggling through life. Maybe a child or a damaged heart? I like how this poem has kind of it's own rhythm and feel to it that resembles the toy soldier. The poem gives me a chill when I read it over and over...it really captures the essence of life with simple words. I really love it! Please write more! :)
