Revelation (Six Feet Under)

Mainly for a contest but it has a lot to do with how I was before I became a Marine.

I have replaced

the thoughts I once had

in those far off days of loneliness

and deep depression

I felt I was nothing

that no one cared

that I was useless

I felt as if I was

six feet under the ground

and nothing would change.

 

But something happened

if it was the gentle touch 

of a woman's soft skin

the companionship of my friends

I do not know

but I changed not so long ago

I felt loved

I began to care

I was confident

I felt that I was anywhere but

six feet under the grave.

Nice. Very honest piece. It's always great to find a new you... I see you did once you joined the Marines. My uncle was a Marine. He said he felt comradery like never before.

Thanks for sharing and for the raw emotions. Nice write.
