The Last Poem

This is the last poem I'll ever write
on my service to the corps
Sorry if you think I'm a total a*****e
But I can't do it anymore

I've got my reasons and rationals
No need to ask me why
It's just a decision I had to make
So kiss that part goodbye

I'm a US Marine Corps Veteran
and it's memorial day
A past I'm keeping to myself
So I got nothing to say

maybe it is best to go with your gut for now and do what is right for your well being and peace of mind. i support you regardless of what you write, but i think that you know this. you have many genres of writing and many different styles at your disposal, being a many faceted writer with a gift for the written word...therefore, i see much possibility in your future for different and possibly new and exciting venues. this is a great piece in itself, but i think you were going for a statement more than a clever poem. still, well done, my friend.

Thank you quinfinn

It's your past, not ours. If you want to keep it to yourself then you should. Though you should remember if you ever do want to talk about it we will stand by you 100%
We hear you. Great Poem

However you choose to deal with your past should be fine by everyone else. Ricochet. Not saying I won't miss them, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Semper Fi

Peace. Its your life, and your talent. You can do whatever you want. I would personally never think of you as a sphincter for exercising your right to choose what you will and will not do.

Thank you TL.

if there is one thing I learned.."never say never"... for now it is settled within you ...perhaps this is a good thing..or a way of dealing ...but if it bubbles up..just know B.R....each time you learn to deal with it differently and although you don't realize it... you grow stronger & wiser....kinda like lifting weights..
thank you btw ( :

awwwwww,
i can't believe it, when i came back, you went away
wish you would change, what i just heard you say
you write amazingly, and we want you to stay
it's your thing I know, but just wanted to say goodbye in a proper way
will miss your writings, and I hope you come back
and by the way, no things that you are anything but great ^_^, and sorry for the memorial day, i know the feeling.

I'm not leaving I just decided to stop writing about my time in the Marine Corps. I'm still reading and writing on everything else.
