    Poem Commentary

    I wrote this particular piece to show what affects street violence have on people. Also the affect of being alone in the midst of a war...battling demons on your own.

    The Continuous Fight

    take a breath
    my hands are shaking, awake
    i found myself in the same place i was before
    caught in circles
    i turn the corner
    there is no end to this war
    no end in sight
    how long have my friends been dead?
    i can't say what i feel right now
    i just saw something i shouldnt have
    i swallow and hide, holding my breath
    what can this mean for me?
    there he is
    in a bundle, brand new in this world
    i cry
    what the fuck did i just do?
    i dont want this new life to run into this wall of hate
    i have to stop, now...
    i have to leave for awhile...
    i have to go...
