War is cruel. It plays with the hearts of men as if they were toys incapable of exhibiting emotion. This poem is about how WW2 was a terrible, bloody battle that made people, not only leave their loved ones behind, but who they were as a person in general.
I entered this poem into the schoolastic poetry competition back when I was in 8th grade. It received a silver key. I am not very good when it comes to writing poetry but I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing :)

Leaving Hell (Book 3 in the Dark Angel series)
Growing up in hell has been completely normal to me, being surrounded by demon's and evil soul's is nothing, they don't scare me. But the day mom told me I will be I would be going to high school, now that scared me. I have managed to put her off til I turned seventeen, that was a few month's ago and school starts next week. I have no idea how to blend into their world. Sure I visit from time to time when I was younger but not lately. I have spent my time here, studying and learning to fight. Going up there means dealing with people's opinions of me and what I am. Don't get me wrong, I don't care what people think, what I'm scared of is losing my temper around bitchy girl's and guy's who are only after one thing. I'm just scared I will end up killing someone. But I guess I don't have a choice, I just hope their world is ready for a girl like me ......Complete
Album One: Fireside
Old "poems" of the young boy. These are garbage and cliché. If you have found your way here, I do not recommend reading, unless you are truly curious to see where I came from. The subject matter is sensitive, often hypothetical, and as far as I remember, less than brutal. These are works of hope, fragmented memories, and a heart that tried to heal, though never broken.Complete
Eclipse

Grave digger
The year is 1964, but the surface has not felt human footsteps for nearly half a century. The Great Retreat of 1919 forced the remnants of civilization underground after World War I spiraled out of control. The war did not end-it merely burrowed deeper. Poisoned by mustard gas storms, chemical fires, and plagues, the surface is a wasteland of twisted metal and abandoned battlefields. Cities stand as hollowed ruins, their streets buried under layers of ash and dust. The sun is a faded memory, its warmth replaced by the choking heat of oil-fed infernos. Humanity crawled underground, carving vast tunnel networks and cavern-cities in the bones of the earth. Here, in the damp dark, people breathe recycled air, eat fungus grown from the dead, and drink from seeping cracks in ancient stone. The tunnels are endless, a maze of bunkers, collapsed mines, and fortresses built into the rock. The deeper one goes, the easier it is to forget the surface ever existed. War never ended-it just changed battlefields. Two factions, trapped in their endless conflict, send wave after wave of soldiers to die in the tunnels. The Golden Empire A militaristic theocracy that foolishly believes that God has not yet mankind. Their soldiers march in formation, clad in gold-plated armor, chanting hymns as they die for a war they cannot win. The Royal Nation A fractured, industrial war machine, where duty replaces faith. They ration food, force conscription, and manufacture war endlessly. Their soldiers wear hate on their sleeves, marching toward death with polished bayonets. Neither side will surrender. Battles are won and lost over mere yards of dirt, trenches collapse under the weight of bodies, and chemical gas drifts through the underground like creeping death. The surface is dead. The underground is soon to follow.
A Soldier's Strength
This is a story that I wrote based on a timeline between WW2 and now. It's a romance (nothing inappropriate--) that I began writing in 6th grade and finished in 8th. I've tried redrafting it, but this is the original. Hope you don't like it so I can get some helpful criticism! :]Complete

This is more or less a sequel to Nightmares, only this one will mostly be freestyle poetry. The same warning applies to this one. Also, if easily triggered, do not read, please. Thanks and enjoy.Complete
