The Meaning of Life (or was it Death?)

older poem

Was it worth it

Living in destitution

Only to live in fame’s

Gentle embrace

Only to die bitter

And alone

What does it matter

We will all lie

In a crate and be

Shipped to God knows where

Should we live in fear of

Love and pain

Or continue the assumption

That there is truly safety

I can’t wait ‘till you dance

Over my ashes

And weep on my tombstone

What is the meaning of life

Honestly I’d rather not know

By the way I hope you find

Some strong arms

It won’t be easy

Lowering me six feet under

oOoO! Nice one! All your poems are good, but this one is one of my favorites that i've read. Keep writing. Post more like this one!

very nice, and very lyrical! Are you a song writer as well per-chance? I'm just holding my guitar now and I think it would be really cool to set some music to this poem :)
I like the fact that it's vivid and to-the-point, so raw and angsty (in a good way), some people try too hard to make 'pretty' sounding verses that just come out looking contrived. I like the fact that you just say it... and do it so well.
killer title too, well done! :D

I enjoyed this, you have a very intense style.

"Honestly I'd rather not know
By the way I hope you find
Some strong arms
It won't be easy
Lowering me six feet under"

I really like these lines.
