Position:Home>Poetry> Should I throw myself in Niagara Falls? What do you think of it?


Question:Please read my poem but watch this short clip first:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxCOkmHcs...

Should I throw myself in Niagara Falls
Is the water cold?
I need to die and that is clear
It's thrilling I am told

What will it be like to drive up there
Knowing I'm going to die?
Should I be cold sober
Or should I get really high?

I've podered this for ages
When are you actually dead?
When your lungs fill with water
Or when you hit your head?

And do they find your body
And is it all beat up?
Or do you just stay under
Never rising to the top?

If they find my body
And there's no ID
Who will bury my body
Will it be for free?

In future generations
Will my ancestors remember me
As the one who commited suicide
And did it dramatically?

Now have lived a full life
A healer not a quack
But all my life is ruined
And it can't come back

They say don't be a coward
You don't have the balls
But why should I suffer
When there's Niagara Falls?

I really like this poem, I think it's brilliant.
I love the pace and rhythm, it contrasts well with the seriousness of this theme.
One or two typos but nothing that effected my enjoyment.
Keep writing, this is amazing :)

Your good! Report It
