Sad

As I cry
my tears are like floods
they never end or start
as I sit here and cry
nothing brings me joy or peace
I just sit here and rot away

Confused

I do not speak
for I don’t know
but as I know
the only thing I do know
is that I am confused

Trap

hidden beneath leaves
were no one can see
it steps on top of the trap
it snaps like an alligator
but the animal doesnt get caught

Fish

as I smell 
I smell the air around me
it smells like the sea
like the sea has turned rotten
but as I look I smell dead fish

Game

their are a lot of things for game
but as you get closer
you feel like butterflys in you
but as the game goes on

Love

Love is like a warm candle
it keeps glowing
it does flicker
but doesn’t burn out
but stays warm

Army

for they stand straight up not down
They always slaute the flag
They dont have to fight for us or the country
but they want
they are the Army
