Challenge
I have been gone for quite sometime and this is my first Challenge in well over a year. I call it Autobiographical Poetry. I await your coming. I will start it off.
Pick a year of your life. Any year, matters not. Give it flavor, give it a light to shine on. Use it to vent anger or despair. Use it to show the ridiculous, or your passion for what you love.Be honest, be true, write your truth of what you best remember.

The Unlucky Hand

It was in September of 2016 that I thought I've done it!

I was proud to be an American Airmen, but alas it wasn't for me

With an unlucky upbrining I lost what I worked so hard for how could that be?

When I was diagnosed with PTSD I lost my career in the blink of an eye

It wasn't pitty that I wanted

It was just understanding that I needed

I just needed a hand instead I got the boot
