Screw it, I don't wanna die
how about I just grow wings and learn to fly
I can't? Well your no fun!
How about I get married and live on through my son?
Hey don't let my wife die ok?
Because my heart would wither on that day
You know I can't stand you sometimes
yeah ok so I don't even pray, instead i find comfort in my rhymes
Can you make it go away?
Null my heart so it doesn't control what i say
you know I don't want to die, you didn't make me that way, but you know sometimes I don't want to live
And I always seem to wonder, how much more do I have left to give?
Damn I'm only 15 and I'm contemplating death
And the warmth of my wife's sweet breath
Am I just weird? ... God?
Or am I normal compared to what you find odd?

Yeah ok not the best. I don't really pray that much anymore so this is as close as I get. Anyways I have nothing better to post so enjoy.

I disagree with you poet on you saying that this isn't the best. It describes the thoughts of someone doubting life very well. The way you have expressed it is well written. Even if I don't agree with God.

If writing is how you talk to God, then do it that way.  I think this poem is good, it had the feeling of raw emotions in it, honesty in your words.  Nice job with it!

I really liked this poem. VERY nicely composed. Seriously, this is great acid.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow

Sometimes we have to contemplate death, even at a young age.
It allows us to realize what we already have, and what we could lose at any moment.
I do so myself.
Great poem, man.  You even got a good reaction out of Dopey.
Keep it up.

It's sad to see someone go thru all these doubts in his mind.  Have you tried getting help?  Talked to an adult or a counselor in school?  Growing up is not easy, specially in your teen years.  Keep your head up.  Be strong.

locked? well this might be why:
Dear Poet on Acid

I have moved your poem to the Moderators forum for review.  We were infromed about it's suicidal nature by a moderator of a different forum.

As you know, the guidelines of Passions doesn't not allow us to post any poems that glorifies suicide.  

I will get back to you as soon as a decision has been made

I don't agree but hey it's their forum they can pretty much do what they want.
