Tara'E Dawson Poet I do not know?

This Solider Is Tired

I hate this, I'm going crazy, I'm finally breaking down I'm suppose to be this solider who 
never blows her compolser. but its hard taking it all in and not saying anything back I'm tired 
of not speaking up....I'm tired of not fighting back. the criticism, the ridicule I'm tired of all 
that.....I just don't think I can deal no more. I'm tired of being treated like a kid, I'm tired of 
being treated like the one that will never amount to anything, this solider isn't going to put up 
with it. its too much and I'm sick of it. I'm falling all apart and there's no one there to put the 
pieces back together, im tired of getting hurt but im also tired of hiding the pain. I' tired of 
staring into the faces of those who want to see me fail, this solider is going to stand up and 
speak her mind....this solider is tired of pretending to be happy when she just wants to 
scream, yell, shout it all out shes tired of not being heard, no one listen's, well like beyonce 
said "you should have listened". cause know im sorry to say but this solider is tired and no 
longer will she not be heard, no longer will she be criticse and just let it go.....

Joseph Spence Sr September 7, 2008 at 5:14 PM Being in the military is an adventure in itself. One has to play out the adventure and make the right calls at times. Standing up in an assertive way is an excellent choice. Also, finding a mentor who knows the playing field is another. There are many good choices.
