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.

Why thank you. I'm honored for the review. *Jedi bow*

Since I was here, I thought I'd leave a review instead of just comments! This was really good and I'll be back to read more.

Thanks ^_^

Welcome!

no point in being frightened of the inevitable...You have to feel sorry for Death in this poem...Imagine going to the job centre and the only job going was his...

[Gazza]

Short and very effective piece, it has triggered a thought I've had before and led to my believing everyone has a job to do. Its good to think outside the box and wonder what its like on the other side.

[The Analog Kid]

I read this and got very very scared. But I also felt sad for him. :(

[Harley (arbiter)]

Thanks that's kinda the point to make people see a different side of him.

short and interesting.. The rhyme scheme is really nice and the flow is excellent. You saw death in a different way and expressed it beautifully through this poem. The title is attractive.. I mean you read the title, and you wanna read the poem. Its like Hades.. in Greek Mythology. They say he's evil because he rules the realm of the dead. But the poor guy was stuck with that job. Well done.

Gotta shelve this one!

This is really good, it allows people to see deaths point of view which is interesting. Keep at it :)
