My Story


There’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, but when the night falls I have to fight Being overseas did this to me, always on edge and never go to sleep How can I dream with the Angels while at war, I was trained to stay up and guard the force Always take a battle buddy, that’s what the NCO use to say, and now I wish I had one every single day I miss the laughter, the times we shared; being together we were never scared We watched each other‘s back day & night and whoever messed with us, we all bite It was a family, nah it was mafia, a love & hate relationship…you think you could stop us? I wish you would, only if you could, bring what you got and I promise we will have you shook Can you imagine a female warrior behind a weapon, on top of truck just pointed where you headed That’s a scary thought, I know it…but, you’re not the only one Don’t underestimate us, we’re growing in numbers, the moments you’ll experience will leave you in wonder The sisterhood, the brotherhood, the family we’ve gained, can never compare to your lame game This is serious as a heart attack, an oath you’ll say and never take back, those days were yesterday Remember MEPS, that was the first stage and then came along an airplane It was 98’ for me, if only I can see the first day, all I could remember was kneeling down to pray But I continued on cause of my dad, wanted to make him proud of me…and I did until now, and all he sees is suffering I would do it again just to feel again, as long as I live this so called normal life, these days are just flying by…and this is my LIFE!

explore your emotions further where you see outside of your immediate surroundings that will make your poems even more aspiring nicole

Everything I write is something that has happened and what I feel, I have never explored the outside of my life...This is the first time I realize that I do this...
