I know, this isn't exactly one of my best poems. It's from Rachel's POV about the war and secrecy, I think. The rhythm isn't exactly right. Just a little warning there...

Keep it to Myself

~*~

Whenever I hear the cry of war,

Fear fills my solemn heart.

A pang of sadness through me runs,

Whenever sorrow's near.

When I see a family torn,

From this secret and brutal battle,

I silently beg, and quietly hope,

That it will stop today.

Whenever I kill,

And when I wonder who they were,

Even though I feel for them,

Even though I wish to cry out-

The sadness that I feel,

I believe the others count on my strength.

So I keep it to myself.
