Poem: I'm Still Standing

I'm sat here close to the brink
Sipping at my drink
Trying my hardest to make it so I can't think
About the nightmare that I've been living in
Struggling to not sin
Fighting a war I wasn't sure I could win

But here I am, I'm still standing
And I've come to realise that this is my life I'm commanding
I used to have a dream, but I was always one step behind
But now it's time to find
That extra part of me
That can show everyone and make them see
That I'm fighter, a winner, a champion
Not ready to disappear into the millions
I can make a stand
Give all those I care about a hand

I need to snap out of this feeling of uselessness
And emerge with the feeling of ruthlessness
That has always been shown to me
Its time to show them what it's like to be
On the other side
Struggling to keep the feelings inside that you have to hide

Poem: A War We'll Never Know

They’re fighting a war we’ll never know

Just wishing for them to come home

But instead they’re out there

Doing the things we’d never be able to bare

Putting their lives on the live

Not knowing what they’ll find

Some have come home with battle scars

Some have come home in funeral cars

Others have mental scars

However they come home

They will never be alone

For we should give them as much support as we can give

For without them this life we’d be unable to live

We should remember the freedom they have given everyone

We have no reason to whine or moan

Because we are still walking the earth under the sun

With the chance to see are children play and have fun

Without them we wouldn’t have this life

Or the chance to hope and dream

So if things are the way you wished they’d be

Take a minute to think of those who have lost their lives fighting for you and me

Poem: Remembrance Sunday

We stand together for rememberence Sunday
I wear my poppy with pride
Thinking of our soldiers fighting side by side
They're doing and have done something we could never repay
Giving us our freedom
The ability to have an opinion, our own say
Not just for me, but for every single one of us in the United Kingdom
All you have to do is give two minutes of your day
To show you're thankful for all the soldiers who gave lost their lives
Fighting for you and I

Poem: We Will Always Have Yesterday But Never Tomorrow

I wait for the night time
To see you star in the night sky
And when it's time for sunrise
I have to say yet another goodbye
At least I can stand here by your grave side
To talk about the memories we made
And the lives that you have saved
I can look back to yesterday
And I can be angry that you weren't able to stay
But I'm reminded of the future you have given all of us
Even though you won't be returning on that army bus

You have done so much for so many
So many that won't even know your name
So many who will live their lives just the same
But for me I'll be living, holding on to our,
Private dreams and past memories
Staring at your treasured star
Taken from me fighting our countries enemies

We will always have yesterday
But we will never have tomorrow
I'll be thankful for everyday
Even though I'm filled with this sorrow

Poem: Sleep Tight

Each number has a name
And each name has a number
Imagine being lost in a crowd
Never to be found
Just a number with a name
A name lost in this world
Fighting for you and I
For us to have a piece of mind
I hope you sleep well tonight
Knowing a number with a name
Died for you tonight

Poem: Our Heroes

Fighting for you and me
So we can be what we want to be
Giving their lives
Spend a minute thinking about those who didn’t survive
The wives left behind
See them come home
Give them some respect
What more could we expect
They give everything for us
Not doing it for some kind of buzz
Lives are lost
For such a big cost
You shouldn’t have anything to hide
They are our pride
Give a thought to all the families
Forget all the controversies
They’re our heroes
Let’s support them in what they need to do
Remember it’s for me and you

What do you think?

Poem: Dreamer Part 2

Just last night I was laying awake thinking about the dream I should have been dreaming
The people I wish I could stop from screaming
So many lose their lives
Fighting to save you and I
What about their husbands and wives
What about the children with parents in the sky
They say it has to get worse before it gets better
Would you say that to a mother reading that unforgettable letter
The world is filled with so much pain
And  yet we still moan and complain
Our lives are so easy compared to so many others
Like those without sisters and  brothers, fathers and mothers
Would you want someone to forget to donate?
If you didn't have any food on your plate?
If you were a soldier contemplating your fate?
The world is a horrible place sometimes
So many people fall on hard times
But all I can do I pray they find a miracle so that can survive
And live another day in their lives
You see they're fighting for you and me
So that we can be whatever we want to be
They're giving their lives
So spend a minute, think about those who didn't survive
Cause they're doing it for us
Not for some sort of a buzz
They are our pride
We shouldn't have anything to hide
It's time we gave a thought to all the families
And forgot about all of the controversies
Let's support them in what they need to do
Remember it's for me and you

Poem: Inspiration

A hero comes along
Without a fear knowing where they belong
With every step they take
Another heart may break
But they search inside themselves
To follow the dreams the desire
Each a hero becoming an inspiration
To the whole population
