Grim reaper's feelings

Because we all have feelings right?

Why do people fear me?  

  For it is not I who brings the end of lives. 

 I am only a messenger and the only messenger I am.  

 A taxi to the other sides.

  I did not ask for this job.  

 People say I did but those are lies.

  But I have accepted that I am the one there

  When someone dies.

Author's Note

I just thought.... What would it be like to be death. People come on. I want to know what you thought about it. At least say something

[Watch Me Scream]

This is a brilliant poem, and it brings up a really good point. A whole nother side to something that we have thought of as bad or evil for our entire lives. This flow worked really well, and I really like how straight-to-the-point it was. The meaning was clear, and you got it across in very few words. Good for you.

Hello Harley! I really loved the original thought behind your poem. You did a fanstatic job with this. You have a really good imagination, let it keep flowing from you. Top marks!

Everyone focuses on the person who dies and never death him (or her) self. I like this point of view, very nice

[Cerebriation]

Nice Piece! I never have tried to put this into perspective. Keep up the good work!

Reminds me of The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak where the narrator Is death. Interesting point of view, I like it.

[Harley (arbiter)]

aaaww.. this is somehow a revelation. the grim reaper has been branded with death. however, as you said, he is only the messenger, not the bearer. great poem! :)

[Harley (arbiter)]

Thank you, in a way that's my goal. To get people to reaslise the softer side to the reaper. Lol

[Gothic Girl]

you did a great job in doing that. truly a success. :)

Thanks ^_^

You're welcome. :)

[Coyote Poetry]

Grim reaper had a bad reputation. Best book on the Grim Reaper was the Incarnations of immortality series by Pier Anthony. Gave reason and purpose for death. The book is called "On a pale horse." I like your description. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

[Baby Ricochet]

death. I've seen lots of it and you never get completely used to it. It ceases to shock you after awhile, unless of course it's one of your own. THat you never get used to. "a taxi to the other sides" like crossing the river stix. Nice write

[Harley (arbiter)]

Thank you :)
