Walking Wounded - For The Soldiers

by TheWorldFellNUWerentThere   Apr 2, 2007


Walking Wounded

Walking wounded,
With the darts in my heart,
Walking wounded,
With the bloodstains on my clothes.

I fight for so many hours,
But yet seem to grow weak so fast,
Loading bullets in my gun,
But seem to waste them so soon.

I told my family back home,
I'd fight for them until the end,
I didn't tell them,
That the end would be anytime.

I know I cannot give up,
And I know I cannot waste the hours,
To criticize myself,
For what I should have done better.

I have no room,
To make mistakes,
I have no room,
To miss the target.

See the enemies in the horizon,
With things they think they can beat us with,
Fighting seems so easy for us,
Nothing is impossible.

Got a bullet inside my chest,
But I cannot let that slow me down,
I need to fight for my country,
Even if I'm walking wounded.

    Hun, I really liked this. It was very beautifully written. A great dedication. The flow wasn't all that 'wonderful' but the meaning in this poem was just amazing.

    I have no room,
    To make mistakes,
    I have no room,
    To miss the target.

    ^ I really liked that stanza. It seems to be so true. :]

    I like this poem. but im not sure about the flow or the wording... i mean its kinda just like a story to me, not a poem. and it kinda seemed like you had a rhyming scheem but if you did it wasnt that great... but all together id say it was a 4/5
