Self-Confidence Slam Poem

Confidence, confidence is key
but what is confidence if there is nothing underneath?
We build a preconceived idea that whats underneath is nothing but...well nothing.
I'm ugly, I'm fat, I am nothing but a piece of trash
These are the injured mentalities
of all those who have injured realities
and all those who create a border to the thoughts of mortality.
Whats underneath?
nothing.
nothing, but the skin and bones I pick at until I find that idea everyone calls beautiful
and as usual I am reusable.
Because a girl like me?
a girl who has nothing to believe?
What is beautiful?
I wouldn't know, I am nothing but delusional.

Sniper Summary: Battlefield on the Home Front

It was a hazy long night in June, the streets of Dublin was left engulfed by darkness. The civil war has stretched over an envious period of time, the Free Staters and Republicans can not seem to create a truce. Both snipers seemed to have engaged in a treacherous battle to the death, that later on lead to the evidence of both snipers being brothers. The sniper began his enormous ruckus with a very well thought out plan.

The sniper had been hungry and tired for a long period of time, as he was just trying to serve his people as was the opposing sniper when altercation broke out. It turned into a fight to the death within seconds. As the sniper created his well thought out plan to trick his enemy many people became aware of the situation.

Quickly, the sniper began his plan of attack and decided to take his cap off of his revolver and place it over top the muzzle of his rifle, he pushed the rifle over the wall and pretended to be shot as soon as his enemy began celebrating the sniper took his deathly shot and struck his enemy, he then watched him fall over his wall. A bystander had came forward and stated, "I saw him take the shot and I watched the man fall all the way down before my eyes."

The sniper was overwhelmed with joy due to the fact that his plan of attack had actually worked and was completely full proof. He then decided to see the man he had just shot down. Another bystander announced, "He came down and walked towards the man and turned him over, after that it was just complete and utter surprise to him."

The sniper had went through all of this trouble to shoot down what he thought was his enemy only to turn over the bod and see the face of his own flesh and blood.

Battle on home ground is always a dangerous situation and this has definitely taught people the real effects of war and the impacts it has on families.
