MY AMERICAN SACRIFICE
By: Isabella Jones in KY
My life has been hard.
Poverty, Sin, Injustice -
American Grey.
Then I met My Love.
A feeling that set me free.
American Light.
Courageous He Goes
Strong, Bold, Bright: Mission to Fight
American Brave
Please, come home to me.
How could I come to love again -
American Grave
Or Will Time Be Lost?
Do not evolve without me.
American Love
On our soil for good
Now peaceful, grow old with me.
American Home
Forced to roll dice.
American Sacrifice -
I’m proud no matter what.
