Well my roommate forced me to do a challenge with her, and well I had no idea what the hell I was going to write. Untill I was reading Ellen Hopkins novel Identical which like all her novels are written in verse, and I always wanted to do a character study on John during my favorite episode Common Ground and thus I brought myself to this challenge to write a character study of John during one of his best episode in verse (you know kinda like the Iliad and the Odyssey) and I am praying this idea/project works out. I only ask that you be gentle with me because this is my first time writing in this sort of style.
For the inspiration for this number I will give you the website otherwise I implore you to check out her books.

Please note that there will be one poem per chapter to keep this organized and the title of the Poem will be in Itailics.
Disclaimer: Though there are many days I wished I owned John Sheppard Alas I don't but I do own the poetry!
Warnings: Whump, Violence and a Bound and Gagged Sheppard, PS. There shall be Spoilers to Common Ground. And it's a little AU, there's a fifth member on the team that is a little OC of mine based off one of my personal heroes.
Time of Dying
On the ground I lay
Motionless in pain
I can see my life flashing before my eyes
Did I fall asleep
Is this all a dream
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare
I will not die (I will not die)
I will survive
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
Time of Dying-Three Days Grace
The End
When I joined the military,
I had kept one expectation
I would die young.
Either in a hail of bullets,
or a fiery explosion,
even a plane crash.
But never in my wildest dreams,
have I even dared to think that
this was the way I was going to die.
Then again if I even tried,
to explain my impending demise,
you'd think I am mad.
I wouldn't be at all surprised,
this whole out of control wild ride,
is some screwed up Nightmare.
You wonder what I am talking about.
Well let me tell you about it,
if you are so curious…..
