This is a poem i wrote (for real this time).

here it goes:

sometimes i wonder about who ill be
and drop to my knees and start prayin
lookin at pictures of you and me
wondering why youre all sayin
this isnt right, your family is here
you cant just leave us now.
youll be leaving everything you hold dear
and we just dont get how
you can run away and join these men,
runnin off to some foreign land
to fight a battle, leave all your friends
dropped down in a place full of shifting sands.
i just want to say that i need this now
you may not agree
but ill show you how
strong i am, how brave ill be
dont you worry, give me a smile
ill be back in a little while
from protecting you from all the bad
this world has, i know youre sad
but for now just trust me i know its right
so try to be strong
get to sleep at night
and ill be back, ill prove you wrong
about who i am and how ill do
and even when everything goes bad, please just remember this one last thing
until my last breath, until the end of time, ill always give my love to you

I liked the meaning behind it but, and remeber you asked for critique. I feel that your syntax needs work. And your structure wasn’t as well as it could be. The premise is good.

Syntax refers primarily to word usage and structure, secondarily to diction.

I like it Bacon, reads like a spoken word; nice rhythm to it.

I thought it was good I understood the whole concept. An easy way to fix the confusion is when you changed point of views. I don’t think you meant for it to be vague but is the first section a thought the solider was having, or was it a view from a loved one. holler back let a sistah know! But I liked it anyway. I do the same thing in my writing sometimes.
