I've Heard Often Enough

I’ve heard often enough

That when we die

We come back different.

So as the cold barrel of this gun

Touches my burning throat.

All I can think is,

Perhaps there is hope

For me after all.

Yeah I think everyone hears things enough like your "Reviews?" Thing you don't need to put that up. Your talented no doubt about it!! So never worry about how little or how many reviews you get, because it's the little number "43 views" on there that count how many people look at it and how many people read it! This is fantastic the whole thing. And remember it's no the end of the world. You did an awesome job! I give you props!!

It's a thought that many have had, it's sad, cold but enlightening. Simple short and sweet the way that I love meaningful poetry to be written most of the time.

Though I am intrigued as to why this persons throat is burning? From emotion? Pain that has built itself up from the centre of their being and is bubbling painfully? I know that feeling, like you can't breathe. Scared but terribly sad.


Love it.

Wow. It's short but really powerful. And like past reviews have said, I've never thought about it like that... People having so much hope in dying and becoming someone else that they'd kill themselves to be someone different.... It's really interesting.

This definitely puts my perspective on suiciders in a much different light. I have never thought of people thinking this way, before they murder themselves. Very interesting. I am very glad I read this. A real eye-opener for me.
