doomed to die

doomed to die

no matter what

don't even cry

just shut up

we are all doomed to die

so i wonder why

we even try

to accomplish anything here

hold things,pets,and people near and dear

just to feel the pain of loss

and at what cost

it costs too much

to deal with sorrow and such

not necessarily in that order

do we just give up or

what are we supposed to do

can i rely on u

to give me a hint

or even a glint

cuz i am so lost

cannot pay the cost

yikes this really scares me

but whatever will be will be

i know we all will die someday

and people may remember us some way

I feel so lost

at such a cost

the cost of life

causes much strife

when you can't find your aim

to make some kind of claim

for those left behind to remember your name?

whatever, who cares...just play the game

of life and may the best man or woman or whoever win

give it a whirl and take a major spin

i don't even understand what i am sayin'

but i sure feel the pain

no pain no gain?

check back here sometime again...








Author's Notes/Comments: 

ever since I can remember I was afraid of death...but death is a part of life whether we like it or not and I don't like it...does anyone like it...i wanna live on...don't we all...what are we doing here? Why can't it be made clear so we can get on with it and not go through too much shit...yikes...I hate to use yucky words but I really feel this way now so gotta let it out and scream and shout to save any sanity left if i ever had any...did i say that? yikes...thinking about lindsey buckinghams go insane i loved that song...so i go insane...whatever I dunno been up and online way too long...don't read too much into this but share whatever comments you are inspired to make...and i don't even care if you think I am nuts....no ifs, ands, or buts....lay it on me...wow....really being vulnerable here but who cares anyways....

Please read my poem END OF SORROW...It is similar to the emotions you are feeling. I liked your poem alot, it really expressed the emotions you felt.

guess we won't know til we get there and then it will be too late? I dunno...I was depressed when I wrote this but thought this would be relatable...doesn't everyone dread death or is it just me?

this is depressing..."i feel so lost at such a cost the cost of life" i know that dying is scary..but we're not really doomed to it...i mean, who's to say that after death is worse than life?

Very good Pam. This is exactly how I feel when I'm depressed. Not the healthiest outlook, but when sadness overwhelms you it's easy to feel this way.
