Death is Bliss
January 25, 2013
16 years, I don’t care about my life already
I have more hate than I can carry
Locking myself in the stalls between lunch and 5th period
My wrist is covered in crimson blood
I enjoy making people laugh
I’m a social person
I was voted most likely to succeed
Deep inside, I suffer from depression
I will die to bestow fortification
I will slit my throat to donate myself
I will stop the beat of my own drum in order to hear the snare of another drummer
I am revived in 5 different places, the beauty of revenants

Hole crap! I really liked this one! It was amazing, I don't think there is anything I would change. I liked the metaphors you used. It made me want to read more of it. There may be one thing I would have changed, it should have been longer! I really wanted to keep reading. GREAT JOB!

I really loved it. The emotion was really there and I think that you really made empathy happen. Maybe the ready already knows how it feels to want to die but if they didn't you showed them. Keep it up for sure. :)

Good, it kind of reminded that deep down we can all loose ourselves from time to time.

I really appreciate it, since this is only the third poem I’ve ever wrote, I can honestly say that I have some pretty obvious things that I have to work on when it comes to poetry.
Yeah I agree. I'm not saying I don't like it because I do. Yet, based on the title readers know what this is going to be about I think that if you focus less on telling and more on showing with imagery and more description with senses and such it would be even greater.

nice work. it reminded of my school-fellow who wished the same, and after an accident, got his liver donated to another person. First successful liver surgery in Pakistan!

This is a really good poem but for me the second verse is a bit blunt: "I suffer from depression". I don't think that needs saying, perhaps try to use other less direct ways as you've done in the 1st and 3rd. But I really like it, well done :)

This is deep. I might have missed the meaning without the 'about,' though. Great job!

All I can say is.. wow..
The second half of the poem is from the mind of the character-saying how he will take his own life in order to donate his organs to save five other people-he wants to see someones life get an extension, instead of it being wasted on himself.
