Strong
Tough
As confident as can be
That's how my life used to be
Hard barrier
Like a sheild
Against all things said to me
Realizing that all this is about me
One person
A thousand words
A million minds
..A hundred sorrows... of a broken soldier
Wow! I know this feeling...good poem. YOu really convey what you're trying to say in this one.
Oh, and "shield" is misspelled.
Try not capitalizing the first word of each line -- it's unnecessary and a throw-back to Victorian poetry. It greatly improves readability and fluidity of your verse to use capitalization only where you would in prose.
Give it a whirl?
This was featured on the PostPoems homepage; I had a look.
It's quite good; economy of words heightens emotional impact.
