This poem
 
What do you think of this poems:

Blade

My back is against the wall
All I see is a blade in front of me
As it draws nearer a bit of my life fades away
But who is doing this
Why would they do this?
Where have I wronged this person?

It must be her
She who gave me insult
I could tell the hatred she had with every word
Had to say it was mutual
But I could tell
It wasn’t her

It must be him
He who attacked me
His hatred was shown by his actions
Actions of pain and fury
But I could tell
It wasn’t him

It must be them
They who did both
Outnumbering me and tormenting me
The cowardly acts they did
But I could tell
It wasn’t them

Who? Who can it be?
But I could see the hand
It was he who never wronged me or gave insult
He who used no hatred
I could tell
It was me.

This comment is interesting I don't know if it's a complement or an insult :laughing:

no worries buddy. The funny thing about my poems though is everyone who reads them thinks I want to kill myself this one included

to me this poem says that you're having some issues with yourself & you're just figuring it out....its all becoming clear now...or something like that...

What this poem is trying to show is what the usual teen who commits suicide is going through. Words and actions you do to people can be like murder.

I think its way cliche.
Suicide is overdone and the songs can barely ever be done right.
This one isn't done right if your going to write about suicide.
You have to approach it at a unique angle, not the typical knife on skin father abused me girlfriend dumped me crap.

Crazy Luv 12-29-2005 03:24 PM

its your poem, but to me...i disagree, what you're trying to give out is not obvious or showing through in the poem. The beinging was good, then it became random, then it was cut short in the ending. The point you're trying to make is hidden.

i agree with Alexisonfire

Suicide is overdone in songs. This isn't a song though. But on your point of viewing it on a different angle why? These are very valid reasons for suicide this shows bullying causing it. I have felt this before so makes it easy for me to make. What other reasons would I put for it live a happy life and have good friends Iwant to die. That would make it seem unreal.

thanks for the comment though :thumb:
