Pack Rat Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Overcome No longer do I care,No longer shall I fearwhat the Future keeps hidden from me. No longer shall I turn back and see,No longer shall I have faithin what the Past has taught me. No longer shall I fear the Future...No longer will I suffer from the Past... For I will overcome Life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breton Thief Oriana Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 People who make the logical assumption can say "I will overcome life... [at death]". (The [] have my words, so...thats what I thought...) Ive said this before, poems about death are not the best because the writers do not KNOW death.

Shadow of the Fallen Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Short and sweet.. I was rivited for the half second it took to read. :) The only thing I know for sure about death is that anytime is too soon (for me at least, I think I would be capable of sending a few people to an early grave...). Hope you have better luck with the poem then my short story did.. *sigh* Nobody likes a good fantasy snippet these days.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pack Rat Posted April 23, 2004 Author Share Posted April 23, 2004 It's not about death actually.The poem goes about the troubles Life throws at you, those that will come and those you have already seen.The poem is intended to learn you that you should not fear the future and learn from the past. I have always thougt that Death is the beginning of something new or the beginning of nothing. But I never saw it as a part of life cause life is living, not dying. Dying is death.

Malchik Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Not bad, PR. Stick the definite article before Future and Past to make it correct grammar (or 'my' future if you prefer). Taught is spelled incorrectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breton Thief Oriana Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Right, but "I will overcome life" is what threw me. Life should be a blessing, not a burden, and it seemed that by overcoming life you would enter death. In fact, it all seems to scream a void past life. But, the artist is the best to ask. Thats just MY interpritation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pack Rat Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 Well I understand you and it is you right to have your interpretation. But with 'I will come Life' I ment that I wont break, that I wont be beaten by any trouble life throws at me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
