Another one of my Parris Island editions. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* I sit here feeling so alone Yet I'm surounded by sisters Is this natural? All I want is a place to belong I thought I would find it here Is this my place? It seems no matter what I do It's never enough for them Am I good enough? Everything seems to come so slow Like I can't figure out what to do Should I even be here? It's so new and strange to me I was so confident in the begining Can I pass the test? All this goes through my mind And I still keep going each day Can the uniform be mine? I push myself to the max While my muscles burn their protest Can I keep getting up? The weeks fly by like days The end is drawing closer and closer Can I make it to graduation? Read my work and read my thoughts |

this is a great poem. it gets me wondering if theres someone out there just like me. i don't know if your in the military or not. i tend to think you are though. I am and i can agree and feel what you write. keep up the good work. I'm a dying romantic and when i can no longer write i can no longer live -Jeremiah Johnson- |

Yet another glimpse into the past... and an accurate one as well... I usually had these thoughts for the last 5 seconds or so between the time I was allowed to "Mount!!! Pray!!! Go The (expletive) To Sleep!!" and when I finally collapsed out of sheer exhaustion. Thank you for a wonderful write, and for the wonderful memories. We are all equal but we’re individually different |
