dragonqueen Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 It would be so easy to stop. Stop breathing. Stop looking. Stop living. So easy to just decide I don't want to anymore. Don't want to breath. Don't want to look. Don't want to live. So easy to float, in nothingness. To surrender myself to God. It would be easy. But...I don't want to. Tell me not to. Convince me. Give me a reason. Rescue me. It would be so easy And it would mean so much. Incidentally, a status report. Midterms are quickly approaching, and this might be the last you hear of me for a couple weeks. After that, with luck you'll see progress on my QQ. Hope you enjoy the poem. -DQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akallabeth Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 This is a beautiful poem. I like the way that you put the feelings, the desperation that the speaker is experiencing. And I think one of the things that I like most about it is how I can connect with it, which I can't seem to with most poetry (that I have read, at least). It is a great poem.

Ayshela Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 wow. the benefits of sifting back a few pages to see what i've missed... i've been known to phone and ask a friend to "remind me, why do i need to keep breathing?" this is so wonderfully, precisely, elegantly *right*! thank you for posting this.
