We're so ungrateful for the things some people do for us. Soldiers in Afghanastain? Dying for us. Police officers? Risking their lives for us. Millions, upon MILLIONS of people are risking their lives for us (if you're American that is xD) every day. This is dedicated to every man and woman out there is putting their lives on the line for us Americans so we can have the rights and freedoms that we are able to indulge in. ...also dedicated to L x] but ANYWAYS... YEAH. Show some appreciation people, and if you do... then yay for you! i give you one free electronical cookie:D Enjoy! ...and review:)

Upon this stoll I sit, waiting for the end

As I hold my chocolate bar lazily in hand

You know not of my pain, less what I did for you

But if you did, it'd break your heart if you knew,

Because my pain is inhumane

What I've seen, I cannot name;

The blood that's spilt because of me.

I'm somehow happy that you cannot see,

But still I sit here wondering, endlessly pondering

While you run around, sauntering;

What would happen if you lost your ignorance?

As I lost mine and innocence.

How would you react if you knew the things I suffer through?

I've seen lifeless children just for you.

And I've seen blood, half of it not mine

But of others, as well, come from torturous times.

Do you know the people I've faced for you?

Even if you knot not of me or I of you.

I'm the person in the shadows, quietly waiting for death

As I wonder what you're thinking when I take my final breath.

What would you do;

If you knew of the hollow valley that is my heart?

What I do know:

Is that it would break and tear you apart.

Because I'm dying for people that I do not even know.

I'm dying for a lost cause, but I just can't let it go.

All I want is justice, peace, and love

I want hope that isn't given from "Him" above.

I want everyone to have a loving home

All I want is for you to not know

Of the pain I battle through

For strangers just like you.

So sitting on this broken stool, chocolate bar half-eaten;

I'm feeling hopeless, broken, so terribly beaten;

I take one last bite of my delicious sweets,

The last I'll take for eternity.

That thought makes my stomach twist:

I hate the thought of a nonexistent end

But what else could there be?

When a person as innocent as me

Dies for thoughtless scum like you.

I wonder if you'll ever know

The pain that I just won't let go

And as I die upon this stool, tears build and build and build;

Until my spirit is extinguished in one last breath,

"If you only knew..."
