To look at him,
you would never know.
That his legs are black as coal,
from standing knee deep in snow.
Frost bite,
a prisoner of war.
The American dream,
is what he suffered for.
He held his head high,
fought without fear.
Shed his share of blood,
sweat and tears.
You can't look at him,
and even begin to understand.
To you he was nothing,
but just another old man.
Show him respect,
he has earned at least that.
For he is covered with memories,
no one can take back.
He carries around his reminder,
underneath his clothes.
He risked his life for you.
I just thought you should know.

About messlisa
I like to call myself, "a work in progress." Writing has always been my passion, as well as an outlet. I look at the world a little differently than everyone else. Regardless, of where life takes you there is always a story to be told. Negativity is a major issue in today's society, but if one can look at a negative situation and portray it in a positive way, now that's literature.

I am definitely a fighter. I struggled through my adolescent and some of my adult years, but I refused to allow anything to stand in between me and my goals in life. I have a degree in Creative Writing and worked as a social worker for abused children. I am also an advocate for domestic violence victims, for I was once in their shoes. However, I am not a victim any longer. I am a strong survivor and I make it a point to reach out to those in need of a little guidance, as well as hope.

I am a published author. My Novel is titled " A Path Of Survival", and I also have a Short Story Collection Book "Existing Beyond Reality Vol.I." In addition to this I have a Poetry Book Collection Series titled " Reflections & Shadows The Insane Words To My Sanity Volumes I, II & III"

My mind does not have an off switch. I am constantly writing, and coming up with new projects and genres. I just love to write period; it isn't about the money for me. It's about the freedom of expression. I also work from home as a freelancer. My experiences include: magazine features, book inserts, on-line advertising, article writing, short stories, ghostwriting, as well as poetry. You name it, I write about it.

I take on subjects other may turn away from, but my goal is to help people and if I am unable to do so in person, then perhaps my words can reach someone in need.
