I wear it around my neck
To always remind me
What I've done
What I've seen
What I've become
I wear it around my neck
As a reminder, always
Of my guilt
Of my past
Of my pain
I wear it around my neck
It cuts me
It weighs me down
It hurts, but..
It gives me
Hope
Energy
Will
I still wear it
Every day
Every week
Every year
Til I die
I wear it around my neck
A reminder, A secret, A lost
My reminder, My secret, My lost
of blood
of hope
of life
It is my dog-tag
How they know me...
But they never truely knew me

I like the write. It is filled with emotion, and the structure gives it strength. I just have one question: what does it mean, "My Lost" or A Lost ...

This is such a strong poem.
I loved the repetition of certain words.
And the structure makes it just simply amazing.
A very good write.
Good luck in the contest =) -
