The War Poem by Tonya Kincheloe

.I sit wacthing silently
as a silent war stirs inside me.
I ask myself one question.
will this war ever end?
no one knows about this war
for i keep it inside. not knowing who to trust
for i can't trust my own parents
i guess my friends are all i can trust.
but the news of this war
i can not say
for i fight alone.
then i another question stirs inside me.
is there anyone who can help me?
i answer that on my own
but the answer is no.
i fight alone.
i need no one else.
i only protect.
i don't need protection.
no one knows
about the war
for i am the only one
who will fight.
i think i'm losing
but i won't give up.
it is then that i ask myself
have i already lost?
is this the end?
the war i mean.
i know i'll never be free
for i have lost the war
and can never return
to fight for freedom
cause hope is gone
and i have no more strength
to carry on in this life.
goodbye my friends.
