I'm more of a free verse type of person.


Thinking

I had a thought.
Strong and bold, yet subtle as well.
A thought of an ending.
A thought that promised me peace, pure bliss and joy.
No more sadness, no more anger,
No more jealousy, hatred, or strife.
A thought that could end everything.

My mind encompassed this strange thought,
And for a time, embraced it.
Would it be courageous to absorb that thought,
Or simply cowardice and escape?

The thought grew tired with me,
It left me as my indecision grew.
It moved on to another mind,
Where its horrible promise could start anew,
And hurt another like me.

And now I find it hard to remember,
The thought that once consumed my soul.

Oh holy crap, I just got what this was about...sad right? =]

Yeah, slightly.

The search engine robots must be having a field day with this thread -- this thread has over 2,000 views compared to the next highest being this thread with ~250 views (at time of writing). Or maybe a lot of lurkers REALLY like your poem, it's become popular!

Related to this poem a little more than I wanted to since the last time I read it. Well done.
