No Reason To Stay

Stream of Thought

No Reason To Stay

I'm bottled up

I'm trapped within

A caged beast

Close to sin

Born to lose

Yet hoping to win

Hurting inside

But where to begin

Been living life

As I die each day

Walking alone

Lead Astray

Losing face

Fading away

Born to die

No reason to stay

About the Creator

Edward Val

I'm a poet by nature and a Soldier by trade and my writing reflects my experiences not only in life but also in war. I use writing as way to express myself and deal with the horrors I've seen and hope my words can help my fellow Veterans.
