WHY I MUST DIE

A poem of grief...written for a 50 word contest.

WHY I MUST DIE

The reason of why
I know I must die
Is swallowed by grief
There is no relief

I cannot pretend
Or even defend
The times I have cried
The things I have tried

To end the remorse
To alter the course
Of things that I know...
But never can show
~~

Few years back if I would have come across this title as a Task for scribbling something up... I would have gone pages...

This so well describes the emotions and the pain one feels at times.

Lets take this one as PART - I , of so much more joy to follow after this pain... Nothing lasts forever...

Placement of words and rhymes were wonderful!

What an awesome review! I thank you very much. ~Sharon

All that lives will surely die, that's the natural order of things, a fact set in stone and one that cannot be altered but while there's life, there's always hope, joy and imagination, sadness too but then life is a Pandora's box of diversity and emotions, but if our health remains good, I say, ' enjoy the journey ' ..

A poignantly penned, reflective write !

You speak words of wisdom here Tom. Thank you again for a kind review. ~Sharon

Your emotions are frayed...at the end of the rope. Why must a person die? That is the unanswerable question. However, wanting to die does not make it so and suicide is never a worthy answer. I know you so I think I have insight into the meaning here. Heartbreaking write. All I can hope for you is that sunshine will come in soon. Lydi**

As are you, dear Sharon.

I think I might well cede to a broken heart if ever my wife taken. Hopefully, selfishly, I'll be taken first. A beautifully, sad write Miss S

I guess 'once upon a time' is what we're all given and whatever's included is ours for the while.

Your words truly lead to a hidden.in.Sharon's.psyche and I wonder if now written and displayed it means more or less than it did. Your feelings jump from the page like beans running on a power line.. blistering from inside out... scary, hurt, desperate. I want to hug and can't... can only think more about your mood and how it alters the course of your time here...

[Miss Sharon]

Thank you SO much for your beautiful and compassionate response to this write. The muse thought she had hidden things well between the lines but alas...you found them anyway. Thank you. Sharon

Your words are what i call beautiful sadness, Sharon.

but often that grief is over things we could not change...and it is sad to be sad...but we seem to have no control over how we feel...whether grief or pain is deserved or not.

a moving write, Sharon.

[Miss Sharon]
