As a child, I am forced to fight.
Every morning I awake to fight.
All day is spent in agonizing battle.
Going on each day only to win a world for me.
I need to be free.
Death is silently lurking around every corner,
Fear can be sought in the eyes of fellow fighters,
The loss of a friend is like knifes digging deeply into my soul.
I need to be free.
The war is over for me.
There is no more pain.
My life is complete.
God is here beside me.
I am finally free.

Grrreat!
This is really good too! You go 7th grader! Truly though this is very good, especially considering it's an older poem you know? I could tell you were dealing with a lot of things in the poem the struggle is noticable. -
This is a good poem! I like it, especially the 'fighter' or the struggler! It's a really good poem about your struggle and finally the release
Well done

Hey! When I wrote this I didn't mean fighter as literal, actually! I wrote it because I was going through a hard time and just needed to "get away" for a while like for the weekend of something of the sort! It can be taken either way though! Good luck in my contest!

Yes, you've put some thought into this. The question is, when you mean "fighter" is this literal? Well lets hope you find better success than the person in this poem. Nice work.
