Soldier ShockThey give me a rifle, and say:  “Go fight like a man.”  I march into my private nightmare  with military discipline   
My boots sink in mud; they’re filled with shit and blood  I shoot like I’m told  My intestines spill into my hands  They stitch me up and say:  “Send him back again.”   
I shake, I cry, I scream:  “I’m human not a machine!”  They take away my rifle and say:  “Send this coward home.”   
This war is not over  It stalks me relentlessly  
I’m mentally defeated; a man robbed of digni Soldier Shock

Death at the CabaretNothing is more ironic than death at a cabaret  Drinking to our health can be the exception  Your rise and fall is vaudeville meets three act play  With all the torture, bloodlust and deception   
I knew I was dead as soon as I took the stage  My lace garter creeping up my thigh couldn’t save me  I enjoyed performing your cruel identity as a joke  Before you dragged me out back and killed me   
I always suspected vampires came to the cabaret  My blood on your tongue was confirmation  How ironic that in killing me you gave me new life  Murderer will be murdered by the victim Death at the Cabaret

PreternaturalHe was handsomely dressed, our important guest  Show of wealth, nobly composed   
I saw him advance, he wished me to dance  A waltz, his eerie touch   
I’m enslaved by his eyes, I am hypnotised  Submission, my weakness exposed   
He exuded a strange charm, I felt no alarm  A bite, his deathly clutch Preternatural

Hey, thanks much for the encouraging comment. Just started writing poetry, so still in that infant stage when you automatically assume that more experienced poets will just spit on you and move on.

you're most welcome, im glad you found my words useful:) good luck with the poetry, you can't go wrong if youre creative and want to express yourself! if other poets spit on your words then theyre not worth learning from. all the best!
