Grim reaper's feelings

Grim reaper's feelings

A Poem by Harley (arbiter)
"

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.

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

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.

I love the darkness in it. Rarely do you come across a piece of writing like this.
I'm a devoted fan of yours, yes, but I'd like to see you do better. Push your limits, Harley.

What can you do that you're not showing, hmm?

Nice poem,,,
I think you should change the title to "GRIM REAPER'S FEELINGS".
You forgot to put an apostrophe.
Anyway, the message of the poem is very clear. (=

Thanks for pointing that out. And Thanks for the review!
Wow. I find it very interesting you wrote from his perspective but I love the spin you took on it. And in reality, it's probably quite true. Death just comes at the end. He doesn't get you there. - A taxi to the other sides.
I wasn't sure what you meant by that sentence though. Most people say, "I'll meet you on the other side." So when you say, 'sides,' do you just mean that there are many for different people? I mean, it's a poem so it could be cryptic and what not but I think it might be better to read if you wrote sides.
Anyway, I'm just being nit picky, thanks for a great poem. I loved the last bit: I have have accepted that I am the one there when someone dies.
It's very cool to think of that because you have death by your side, when no-one else is. Thanks for a great poem again, keep it up :)

Lovely to meet a budding young creative such as thee. Well done!

Oh, so neat! I've never thought about writing anything from the reaper's perspective. I really like what you did here. I especially liked the line about being a taxi to the other sides. The last two lines are gripping and definitely fitting. Very well done :)
