All over again...

When it all starts,
We should enjoy the silence.
Before the nightmare starts
All over again.

The sound of bullets shooting through the air.
Cries of dying innocent men.
To make it through,
Save yourself
Or say goodbye to the world you knew.

In the end,
We always wonder,
What I've done.
You knew better than me,
You stayed home
Waiting for the sun.

We always wonder
What's this life for?
If we're in a world so cold?
To fight fire with fire,
And heading on a road to nowhere,
Only to be so bold?

We always grow
To be one step closer
To breaking this habit.
Only to crumble back down,
And shoot a rabbit
Once again.

We may want no more tears,
But wherever I may roam,
Everything ends so fast
In this river of blood.

They take one less breath,
Before they lay trashed and scattered.
Now it's over,
We should enjoy the silence.
Before the nightmare starts
All over again...







Author notes

These are from option 2-
What I’ve done
Better than me
In this river
Enjoy the silence
Say goodbye
Save yourself
Waiting for the sun
In the end
World so cold
Fight fire with fire
Road to nowhere
Everything ends
What’s this life for
One step closer
Breaking the habit
Wherever I may roam
No more tears
One last breath
Trashed and scattered

I also used option 3 for inspiration-
When we start killing
It's all coming down right now
From the nightmare we've created
I want to be awakened somehow

    I like it

    I think that your style is a little more ordinary and less exciting but its still really good. I want to see some more realisim and uniqueness in your poems, but I still think that they are really good. I hope that you write for my contest, I'm thinking of starting a contest for unique an non-boring poetry, but still trying to get some more points. I hope that you add some more soon.

    I really liked the use of the word bank options and the way you combined the 2nd and 3rd options together.
