There is somethin, deep inside. Maybe it is foolish pride. When a lass, I see today. I have to run, I cannot stay. She'll not appreciate, so I think. Thus alone, I do retreat. I am proud, for which I served. To fight for, our flag unfurled. Though I fought, in no world war. Battle wounds, were still scored. I was hit, from the side. The first shot of that cold night. A state side room, is where I woke. I learned quick, it was no joke. What the doctors, had to say. I'd wish not on enemy prey. Though while I still walk around. My prides' been stripped, left on the ground I've no control, of a simple thing. That many folk do not think. Is to them, that big a deal, Unless aware, no jokes I'd feel. Know this plays, a large part. When I try to give my heart. For what lass would like to be, With a man just like me. They make fun and even laugh. It really hurts my pridefull past. ~Kevin A.

Well written Kevin.. an unusual view though, because no 'lass' who is worth it will judge you so.. this doesn't make you anyone, but youreslf.. and no less a person than u were before.. ^_^ a sad, lonely poem.. well done..

this one tugged at my heartstrings...oh, to feel unworthy of a lass because of his inability...the sad sentiments here will probably haunt me for a while |
