Suicide Theory

What is it that I am really scared of, If it isn't even the Grim Reaper, It seems with his cloak I've fallen in love, A shadow of man who is a keeper. I could care less now about being gay, Which is a reason I once swallowed pills, In excess to die on a prior day, When the words of others once stole my will. Now without much to fear I ask for death. I ask him for reason to be alive, For want to maintain my exhaling breath, To inhale what life can offer to strive. Until I find worth in meaninglessness, I fear that I will wish for lifelessness.

Well crafted, it is refreshing to find a sonnet that is a sonnet. The final couplet is particularly moving - I will lok for more of your work in the future. Dave
