Going To Hell

Going To Hell
The others stop and the others stare,
Why do we seem to dwell and care??
The others whisper and the others point at us who lament,
Why do we bother with depression and being a disappointment??
The others are futile to us within this life,
Why do we let them cause us sadness and strife??
The others are the ones who push us over the edge,
Why do we let them peer over our fence and hedge??
The "others" I speak of are the neighbors and the strangers,
Little do they know that in the end of it all they are the one who shall be in danger
If they keep on pushing us to our breaking point with their criticism and plight,
It is us, the strong ones who shall put up a fight
We shall make sure the "others" know deeply and well,
No one is above going to hell.

[Poetic Beauty]

this is a great poem about people who decide we need to hear their opinion. And no we shouldn't care but sometimes in life we still do. No one wants to feel worthless or like they are a disappointment. You have expressed this whole life experience quite well in this poem and Kudos to you for speaking your mind on the subject.

Last line is fact. Hell had a wide open door. I like the statements and purpose of this poem. Every question made the poem stronger. I like the ending a lot. The poem is outstanding. Thank you.
