Present Arms!


Color Me Red For every drop of blood shed, for every soldier standing at attention, for all the others i forgot to mention, for every cadet swearing in right hand in air, for all whov seen Iraq and fought for whats fair. Color Me Red Color Me Red Color Me White For all those willing to fight, For every drill Sgt raising there voice, For all people who give up freedom of choice For all those whov carried equipment two times there weight, For all those who marched in despite there fate Color Me White Color Me White Color Me Blue, For what all military families went through, For every ocean crossed when separating kin, For all who left boys and returned as men, For every soldier tear wept, For every promise kept, For every day you didnt get water, For every day you missed your daughter Color Me Blue Color Me Blue Now I Salute You!! Dedicated to all my military family and friends and especially my Aunty Kellie!

Aired-out

Hello my name is Ariell. Im a 21 year old young lady from Riverside california who has an intense longing to be heard to be apart of something much bigger then me. I want to help make a difference in this world through poetry! Im not sure why spoken word and poetry appeal to me, maybe its the stories behind each one, maybe its the subliminal messages....either way i have a love for it and can only hope to meet others with the same passion and dreams!
