“The poet's job is to put into words those feelings we all have that are so deep, so important, and yet so difficult to name, to tell the truth in such a beautiful way, that people cannot live without it.”

Yes, at times I feel alone
But this is the lifestyle in which I have grown
I understand as hard as it can be
That loss may happen so I can be free

They say home is where the heart is
And how I am like many other kids
I have nowhere to call home
Throughout the world I feel I will always roam

I hope to someday plant my roots deep in the ground
I am lost and I just want to be found
I move and my life will begin again
Yet I know it will also come to an end

People say they don't know how I do it
I honestly don't either I'll admit
Yeah, this life is crazy and maybe even a little wild
But I stand proud with my head held high as a military child

Fantastic job!! You have encased in this poem the every feeling of a Military Child. I can really relate to this poem, as I am one myself. I also really like your choice of picture, it goes with the poem quite nicely :D. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, keep on writing, and good luck.

I like this. It's got a good rhythm to it and it flows. Even though this doesn't relate to me, you have probably created a sense of empathy for others who can relate to you. Well done.
