Holocaust

[Muffin Manic]

I had to write a poem about the Holocaust for school so here it is!


I try not to cry
but I don't want to die
Yesterday and who I was
Are just memories now.

I was a person with a soul
But watching the corpses
rotting, striped me of my
everything I was.

I no longer seem to notice my
weakened breathing
The ones I loved and thought
I would die for, all burned to ashes.

How hatred did become so strong
I will never know.
Why me? why us? No one
Knows or cares to answer my crying voice.

People die and no one cares, no one cries.
But only do we think
are we next?
They move us from camp to camp.

The conditions only worsen
Oh how I dead I feel.
But yet I bother to breathe that next breath.
How easy it would be to just die. but no not me.

I’ve made it this far how horrid it would be to just give in.
They want us to break, to give in to the easy.
But no not me I am strong even in my despair.
My frantic running on the death march and I still breathe yet again only half dead.


I made it through another day of this life we call hell.
I realize I don’t know how long this will last.
Maybe I will never make it to the end.
My Hope fades as I’m beaten for no reason.

Imprisoned with no reasoning, only does the hatred speak.
Nothing have we done, except wish to be dead.
No one thinks anymore but only moves without
Thought we are no longer alive so what more could we lose.

I breathe and eat, if I can, and inside I am not
Alive I have lost all freedom inhumanly punished for
believing and nothing more. Why do I continue to live
when I lost the only thing I thought couldn’t be taken.
My desire to live.

I also wrote it in my jornal. but that was a while ago an dmost poeple thought it was great!

We are currently reading The Diary of Anne Frank, in m English class, and we saw a video of real image from the Holcaust and, it was just breath taking, thinking, how were they able to do this even hough they knew they couldn't escape.

Excellent poem!
Your imagery is right on.
You need to fix a few spelling errors otherwise this is near perfect.
I'd give you an A! 3nodding

You did a good job at portraying it. The nazis were evil, understatement, and to think people still rally to that cause even though its no longer in public

It's really good. It really captures the sense of a person going through the Holocaust. It made me cry crying I am just really easily moved lol.
