Patriotic Colors

[Grace]

This is me, being the frustrated and mad and ignorant 14 year old that i am, so please forgive me if my information is totally wrong or something. In honor of victims of PTSD and in the spirit of the the 4th of July.



Here, in THE LAND OF THE BRAVE, - like the way you use capitals for emphasis
they curl up in rooms, waiting for the -rooms begin and end the poem
PATRIOTIC DISPLAY
to stop
reminding
them. line-breaks to drum those words in
of the things they did for
THE LAND OF THE FREE
and people say that they
DEFENDED OUR FREEDOM
but someone, please, explain why,
exactly, using commas to make your point
such a big sacrifice was required for…
what? What had the fight even been
about?
And the
RED WHITE AND BLUE
Explode in the air,
but all she can think about is the
RED WHITE AND BLUE
that lit up the ceiling of their bedroom that night that he
didn’t come home
from the bright, all-American
bridge. best line. Good way to end it.

I like the way you write. It's your unique voice, telling it like it is.
Thank you for the read :)
