This is really just a thread to share any writing I decide to do, usually at night. You're welcome to comment, critique or share your own stories/poems or any writings that pop into your head. It's just a random space for people to show their work or discuss writing. Just one rule: be nice!
I'll put a prompt for any writers who need some inspiration - I doubt it'll be much help though c:
“Maybe all the strings inside him broke.”

War? Does it even have a reason?
Men dying, season after season,
I see my men, falling down,
But all I can do is stare and frown,
My heart is truly stone,
Cold and numb, encased with bone,
A boy scarcely six-teen years old,
Charging at me, brave and bold,
It doesn't register as I take his life,
I imagine his family, screaming in strife,
This is what war does to us,
Keep down your head, make no fuss,
Even as you shoot someone dead,
Not a grieving thought runs through your head,
I hallucinate, see things that aren't there,
I see a boy's family, beckoning with care,
Perhaps they're taking him to heaven,
I count from one to seven,
There, they're gone; never were here,
It's the future I fear,
I don't think I'll be here much longer,
Despair in me grows ever stronger,
Engulfing my being, clouding my mind,
No, I'll forget the horrors I'll leave behind

People leave all the time
One day they'll just
go
And not come back.
Sometimes they will d r i f t away
going on with their journey winding
through their own problems
Others are. ripped away.
Most of the time you don't remember
the people. Like fleeting dreams
But what makes you want to remember some
those special some
forever?
