Deja Vu

Deja Vu

A Poem by Trillian
"

A poem about afterlife.

"
Everyone says life is short
Though I don't really know
Honestly, we do depart
This planet awfully slow

Though in the end
Will it seem that way?
Will we want to extend
Our lives one more day?

That's what I'm scared of
The fear and the dread
Down below or above
I'll be gone once I'm dead

I don't have a religion
Not much to believe
To be born or rewritten
Won't make me relieved

I don't want a new life
But I want to exist
Can't come back as a foul spy
Or a dancer who twists

No, I want this life
Again and again
Same conflicts and strifes
Same laughter and grins

It might not be sublime
Sometimes it's whack
But when I catch up with time
I'll want it all back

Thank You!
"But I want to exist," this is simple but beautiful at the same time. I really love this line most of all. & I think your poem is very relatable. Every goes to that place where they are unsure about death and dying at some point in their lives and it's scary. I just try to live everyday without regrets. Very nice.

You're welcome.
This is amazing! I love this. It encapsulates the worries and strife of many in a poem. How one writes such poetry is beyond me. I find poetry (some of it) truly awe-inspiring. My talent lies in novellas and stories, not doing something poetic justice, so I commend for such a feat.

In the third line I think that you meant "depart" rather than "deport". Just a typo, no big deal, I assume.

I like this. It's a poem that could only be written by a young person, it seems to me. Not that the writing seems young, just the sentiments, if that makes any sense to you. I hope it does.

I LOVE the second to last stanza, those words are brilliant!
Great writing. I enjoyed this!
