With Death We Do Not Want

Another fresh write! Please read and tell me what you think!

Children running towards such greatness,

Adults slowly backing away to much darkness.

As we began to breathe we thought 

such light was beautiful; as we start to age 

we do nothing but think of it as evil.

Can we make up our indecisive minds about what

is wrong and what is right; about what is 

dark and what is light; what is good and the bad?

As our bones grow up strong, science proves that 

they are meant to die weak. Because 

even if we die by a hit and run or a crashing bike,

then our bones are meant to break; we will fight for 

our lives on the edge of a death we do not want.

If it's life we do not wish for, and we are on the

brink of giving up, then life we shan't have 

and we will die like a present under the

family's outrageous Christmas tree, a present 

too large for Santa to fit under its leaves.

Because on the edge of the unseen cliff, we 

know that we won't go down without a fight,

but we understand and don't understand the meaning of

"sticks and stones may break my bones, 

but words will never hurt me."

Wow! Best thing I've read by u tbh, seriously. The emotive language is well done, even the longer lines flowed well when spoken as the drama picked up and made it work well. The sticks and stones quote gave me chills tbh

Thanks :)

[Sam Gregory]

No problem :)

So sad when people waste "such greatness" because of something someone said; it is also sad though, when people have nothing better to do than berate others over what often are trivial things. Quite well written!

[Melody]

Indeed...Very sad indeed.
Thank you. :)

tragically, so many young people give up on life because of the impact of hurtful words cast upon them by others. Basically people are good and do not meann to hurt others as they do but it seems that young people just don't realize just how much damage they can wreck on another's life. Well written.

Yes...Tragically, what you say is too true. Thank you, Neva.
