I Quit! ! ! Poem by Ashika Murali Acharya

I Quit! ! !

Rating: 4.6


I wish that death blankets me now,
Do anyone up there hear my cry,
Or the silent screams of all the tears?
When you come with your ropes to tie,
The ones who always wanted a chance,
Leave them free till another day,
For I seek you, with all my sense today.

Another day that I wished from my heart,
World would just end right now right here,
This sky would fall down on my head,
To stop me from breathing anymore,
This inky smoky dirty air around.

I can't walk this path here on,
Nor can bear the deadly pain,
Don't want this suffering more and more,
Wish I had the strength to end this all,
To bawl that I am not fine anymore.

My bones are screaking inch by inch,
All my nerves would burst in my head,
Wished my heart just stopped its beat,
And help me in my last retreat,
I wish I had the courage to end this now,
Call it all done and say- I Quit,
For I can't struggle to paddle anymore,
To save from drowning in a slave full birth.

Hang in there! Life is worth living. Suicide is never the answer. It causes immense pain to loved ones.

Bed of death provokes thought and absolutely pain kills time to time. Blanket of death does magic and beauty of life counts truth. Someone hears the cry. An amazing poem is brilliantly penned on death topic...10

Light is a curious thing, it can be a path, a warning or understanding, pain drives us at times to choose several roads or even cliffs, your poem is filled with emotion and a passion for release, I find a good release in writing poetry, your poetry ie really good

Highly disturbing and I can only pray that you are not in danger physically but are writing about an intense moment- -my dear, if this is indeed a desire to harm yourself, please don't. This world needs sensitive hearts to stem the progression of this world into darkness. Please write to any of us on PoemHunter- we care about our fellow travelers on this journey through life.
