some people write about life or death
whats the point,theyre the facts of our existance
some just it in hospital,collecting sadness
when they could get the joy of the people they love
a girl lies in a darkened room,holding the knife to her wrist
all because she feels her lifes gone to waste
the tramp begging on the street,tryin to keep alive
food is the biggest worry of their existence
an old woman lies dying,having lived her life to the full
but it was a waste and she nos it
she waits for her chariot to come,to take her up hi
but nothing comes,and as her soul dies
she retreats into the blackness of death
to join everyone else in their clouded illusions

l think some people write about death and all that mainly to understand it, or make people think about it, but something l noticed in your poem was that you seemed to be asking a side question, along the lines of why do we bother trying... well, l agree with you there, l don't understand why we try so hard sometimes, but sometimes its all you can do...
as for the poem, l liked it, though it was a little abrupt or something.
anyway, good write.

Loved it. I like the hidden meaning/question that it hides.  Great work.

I asked God how much he loved me...
He said this much...
And streched out his arms and Died.
