Life or death it's your choice I'm not quiet sure which one is more appealing Dragons and roses, Whinni the pooh and Freddi Kuger It is all in our minds, our choices decide our dreams and our dreams decide our futur Speaking in rythms would not satisfy my curious mind because I want to know wether I choose life or death Virgil or Homer, poetry or homework Life is full of choices, but I don't really care about anything except wether to choose life or death I know death is a choice I'm not suppose to choose, but since when do I listen to rules For all I wanted to know was life or death, you left it up to me and I chose death lying here in my cold grave ~Ina~ BTW would you guys mind if I "signed" my poetry under my real name Regina?It would be easier for me...you choose, since life is full of choices.... |

LIFE OR DEATH? I've always thaught of death as a posibility, not a choice. I guess my thinking is Life was already chosen, why ask again. I'll just live untill death chooses me. Well this was a very interesting poem. Thanks for the read. And you can "sign" whatever name you want. it's all good by me. IsGona "Every body has their destiny... I'LL CHOOSE MY OWN ~Hatebreed~ |

Please note that we do have guidelines which we enforce regarding poetry depicting suicide, and consider this piece to be borderline Regina. We care a great deal about the health and well-being of all our members, and we are pleased to include you in this grouping. I thought that as a whole you were attempting to explore a number of life choices, however as with every choice we make in life, each and every choice we make has consequential reactions. To depict suicide as a "choice" without showing the severe, negative and horrible consequences of it's aftermath is precisely "why" this poem concerns me, and I would be irresponsible if I did not address this aspect. It's true that the beauty in life is being able to choose our various paths we walk each day, but the horrendous consquences of suicide forever removes your freedom of choice ... it is permanent ... it is devastating ... and it forever scars the loved ones who are left behind to live within the aftermath of this "choice". I hope you understand my concerns regarding this, and if you need to talk, please feel free to e-mail me directly. I do hope you're OK. Best wishes and hugs, /Kit [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 11-22-2000).] |

Thank you so much for your understanding Regina. I very much appreciate it. It's not easy to distinguish sometimes the meanings behind someone's words, and that's a very difficult task for our team of moderators. We need to remember that we have some readers as young as 9 years old, and have to guide ourselves in that light. Since we've explored the negative aspects in the responses, I will leave it here. Again, I very much appreciate your understanding Regina, that means a lot to me, and I'm so glad you're OK.  Best wishes, /Kit |

great poem Ina. thanks for sharing it. the problem with us people is when we are given a choice, we always seem to pick the easy way out. we think that it helps us better to do so, but it actually doesn't. the hard way out is what makes us realize who we really are. think about that I see no changes, wake up in the morning I ask myself, "Is life worth living or should I blast myself" TUPAC SHAKUR |
