Suicide In The Trenches
By Siegfried Sassoon
I knew a simple soldier boy
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
No one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

Hello, my name is:
Kathleen Marie
Cynical. Sarcastic. Witty. Vulgar. Caring. Loyal. Sensitive. Sympathetic. Wise. Random. Dependable. Entertaining.
I was born in San Jose, California.
I'm shy and quiet at first. But be my friend and you'll encounter my crazy side.
I'm still in the process of growing up. I make stupid mistakes, but I'm constantly learning.
I try to be the best person & friend possible.
My friends are what keep me going. I've gained some and lost some. For the ones that are currently in my life, I'd walk to one end of the world and back for them.
I love hockey, shoes, and sweaters.
If you want to add me, message me first.
Dear Kathleen,
