Prisoner of war

by kevin Boundy AKA the ghost   Feb 22, 2008


I throw my heart like a grenade
In this war called life
For if I didn't I fear
I would suffer eternal strife

But it seems like the grenade
Always explodes in my hand
I feel like I'm living proof
That things don't always go as planned

Strangers burning glances
Like snipers sent to take me down
I'm so caught up in the moment
That I think I'm going to drown

As judgments fly by
Like bullets whizzing by my head
I suddenly realize that
It would be better if i was dead

In this battlefield
As grenades explode and bullets soar
I realize this is my life
And I am a prisoner of war

    Not your best in my opinion but even your worst is great. I feel like I should give you some negative feedback or critisism, so here it is: in my opinion the word "grenade" was used to often. But I'm a girl and war is something I don't really know much about, what can I say. anyways the meaning definatley got across.

    great job

    Great job although you do need punctuation at the end of your lines.

    I likes your last two lines the most

    I realize this is my life
    And I am a prisoner of war

    It fit the poem perfectly and describes alot about people in itself as in life we are prisoners.

    great job once again.
