Have You Ever Thought About Dying?

Have you ever thought of dying?

Have you ever thought of what would happen after death?

Have you ever thought of a failed suicide?

Have you ever thought of being murdered?

Have you ever thought of dying?

Has that very thought consumed you to the point

that you cannot exist without it?

That you must find out what would happen?

Have you ever thought of what would happen after death?

Has the very thought of it

continuously haunt you to the point

where you fear death?

Have you ever thought of a failed suicide?

Maybe jumping off a building failed- it was too low

and you are left a vegetable-

for the remainder of your life?

Is that not more frightening

than death itself?

Have you ever thought of being murdered?
Right to the point that it leaves you

alone, trembling in the dark of night-

pairanoid

for your own life?

Has any of these thoughts occupied your mind?

Pray, tell me the truth-

have you ever thought about dying?

Yes. These are dark thoughts in ones mind, and they lead to even darker ones. This is a very well laid out poem, and very captivating for such a frightening and depressing subject.

I do believe you meant to spell "paranoid" in the second last line of the 5th stanza though.
Also, in the 3rd stanza, you say "Has the very thought of it / continuously haunt you to the point / where you fear death?" Which would be more grammatically correct as "Does the very thought..." OR "... continuously haunted you..."

Good write though.
