SOLDIER

I became a soldier
Somehow matured as I grew older
I got the world in my hands
Yet, stood back from many plans
You never know when it might tip over
I was a nothing, and been lower.
Was a negative to society
‘Til my mind sought tyranny
It was the formula I had to solve
So I looked for guidance from up above
At the time, I guess he was occupied
Because my dreams and hopes had died
After all I revived I was determined
To not let nobody step on my pride
I’d rather put my past burdens aside
I accepted poverty and pain came along
With the neighborhood life,
Kept it real, like the trip of my knife,
Struggled to be retrieved from this grief
Agony, and strife; I was a rebel to most
As they looked upon the depth
I would host the hardness
Located in my eyes
Had them foolish stacked with lies
I wouldn’t budge though
I had gained fortitude
I guess that’s what it was yup,
My attitude!!!!!
This poem unheard of, words
Blessed from above
Soldier so poetic cause the words
Spell it. This is
A introduction to a soldier like
The poem Introduction to Poetry.
Some will understand it while
Others look blank and forget
It. I became a soldier
Somehow matured as I grew older.
