The name I would like to change

My soldiers gone away

I used to have a soldier

That protected me all day

But now I’m lost and scared

Because my soldiers gone away

I’m lonely and alone

And within me I will hide

Because I’m too afraid

Without him at my side

The people they all hurt me

When they tear me down

My soldier use to help me

With his protection all around

I feel as though in fire

And it’s causing me to burn

I don’t know if ill want to live

If my soldier can’t return

Daughter in laws who have no appreciation, frequently forget that they themselves will one day be THE Mother in law.

#inlaws

Blood boiling, anger rising, seething coming from the mouth, ready to place hands around neck and squeeze the life out letting it ooze to the floor where it will seep past the floor boards being sucked in by the soil and drip ever so rapidly into hell where it belongs.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#anger

A woeful scream piercing the darkness unheardA soul ripped away with the sound of tearing fleshAn empty space  cold and darkNo tears for the non existantA shell of bone and flesh walking to the graveThe darkness callsNo fight no fearDeath is the sanctuary The end is peace.
