The Other Side

What is it like on the other side, no one will know until the day they die. The time has come for me to know, I can no longer stay, it's time for me to go. I love my family,with all of my heart, but now is the time that I make a new start. It is just to hard here to deal with things, on the other side I will earn my wings. Please don't be sad when you think of me, I will rest in peace,it was just meant to be. Colleen Marie Bono

What lies on the oyher side, it's true no living person can know, but here's a little thought before you go. What if you kill yoursel to rid all your depression and misery, and then take all those horrible feelings to "live" with for eternity. Stay here and fight those horrible demons. If you fail, well you tried but you've earned your place in heaven. (Just a little something to ponder Colleen) Best Wishes Always, Bill

don't know if this one was suicidal or if you were just writing from another point of view, but it's an interesting one and an enjoyable read. LUv, andrea

Is this suicidal? Just in case, i will tell you, some of us do know what happens after death. When death comes to someone you truly love unconditionally, they come back and tell you its secrets. Most humans are too selfish to love another, fully. Suicide is the most difficult afterlife, it goes against the very purpose of living. To give to others, to make the world a better place for having been here. Selfishness is avoidance of this mission, and selfishness leads to suffering.

Wow this is a very deep poem I can understand what you are feeling... We each live through it at one time. I have always said something similar to most who know me but they tell me they need me... Some one needs you to. -Nemo

Dear Colleen Lovely. However, it saddens me to think you would like to go. The surprise is we earn our wings here on this earth, from our own struggles and trials and tribulations. Release these ideas and speak of the joy that you can have if you choose. Your gifts are within your hand! Keep expressing and praying! Love Jeralynn

Have u thought about if u decide to go who will write such beautiful poetry to share with Soupers?.. nice to express how u feel Colleen but don't waste your talent by leaving us.. don't know if there is pen and paper on the other side.. but here there is and u can utilize it by writing rather than doing this "thing" that plagues u so much... hopefully there are wings waiting .. but I think yours are still being designed to hold all your beautiful writes yet to come... Linda-Marie..

This is overfilled with powerful emotions and i can feel you hurt through the words. Life is an amazing stuggle ups and down and you are judged by how far you rise after you fall. It seems you fallen can you rise to a point higher than before only god and time can tell??

This is beautiful. The story varies for each; read a book called A Certian Slant Of Light by Laura Whitcomb...Promise me you will. You must stay here however Colleen, because you will find purpous in your life, but you must find the will in all your pain not to give up hope. i have experianced death and inso rebirth. and i know others who have in their own way too, you feel a renewed sence of clarity, beautifulness, but now my dear is not your time, so do not yet whisper your goodbyes...xo Rain

Very deep and so sad. What in life has you so down and wanting to die? It can not be that bad...trust me...I have been to hell and back more times than I care to count but, I keep bouncing back and keep trying to fight the good fight!! Evil comes in many guises....when we doubt our self worth it is the devil's work!!! If you need to talk let me know. I will pray for you Colleen...very expressive piece....~Mary
