Two Years Ago

Welcome to DUP!  Melancholy write but for me still shows a light as the "scared" shows a desire to continue!

the  message behind it is meaningful and powerful<3

thank you guys ::3

what..ahh..what is the spirit scared of after its check-in on the living?

ahhh, no.
its about this person killing themselves.
and theyre not a spirit, its just from the perspective of someone whos died.
not necessarily a spirit.

alright, then.  in that case i think "Now in the ground i lay," with the way it's laid out rhytmically, indicates more of a body-in-the-ground situation.  to me, a living ghost is so much a ghost because it is above ground, and saying "Now in the ground i lay" detracts from that feeling.  but, of course, that could just be peronal opinion...

but theyre not a ghost. (and ghosts arnt living)
like i said before, its from the perspective of someone whos died, but not a ghost. just from their perspective if they were to have thoughts.
so yes, this person is in the ground, not floating around above ground like an unflushed turd.

yes, "ghost" is a term given to one who is alive but not living.  i've heard it given before, and i've given it to myself before, and...well...

you meant someone living who isn't living, yes?  that's what i meant with my last comment.  and i stand by what i said in it.

aww poor baby youre a ghost.
please.

and no. theyre not alive in any sense of the word. i mean someone who is dead as a fucking door nail. okay? they are not in any way alive. this poem is from their perspective IF they were to have thoughts.

if you cant have enough imagination to understand that, then you can kindly get away from my poem and maybe eat a worm.

thank you. ::3

no, no, no.  my mistake was when i read a previous comment--when you said the person was killing his/her self, i somehow substituted the idea of living away from everyone in one's own universe while old acquaintances keep moving on, advancing after their own fashions--an idea a bit closer to my heart than merely killing oneself.  sometimes my mind does run away with itself. thus i was momentarily blinded to what you actually said.  ok.    
     
in any case, "Two Years Ago" could really mean anything, to anyone.  the poem could easily be interpreted as a ghost of a dead person looking out over the living two years after death, and, pardon me, maybe i wasn't considering the author of the poem in making that assumption in the first place--and, mind you, there is nothing whatsoever in the poem to indicate anything to the contrary, not even a whisper of what you supposedly intend.  there is no thought given about the life this person lived before looking into this scene, merely a consideration of what others think of him/her after that life is over.  i thought, "maybe this is what he means..."  a poem becomes many different poems after it's published and read, each with either something of the reader in it, or what the reader thinks the author's intentions might be.  to expect it to always mean exactly what you mean to everyone is...blind...?    
      
eat a worm...heh, good one.  a bit more sophisticated than "Hey, Birdshit!"  you know, i'm actually mildly allergic to pineapple.  my mouth swells up...

i think its pretty clear what i meant in the poem, but it is true that things are interpreted differently. but id like to bring the attention back to your first comment. about how the spirit was scared after checking in on the living. the wording came across as somewhat rude in my oppinion.

well i thought go eat a worm was a little less harsh than "douche drinking peice of fucking shit caked flaccid celery". but the whole reason i came up with the latter in the first place was because i was already in a bad mood, so yeah.
and wtf does pineapple have too do with anything except my picture?

i'm sorry if i came off as rude in that first comment.  i really didn't mean it to seem rude.

as for the pineapple thing, well, as we seemed to be speaking of eating things, and as pineapple is like the only food item i know i'm allergic to, i thought i'd throw in an odd, off-hand..remark...

its not off hand, its off topic. completely arbitrary.

yes, yes.  so was the worm.  i must stop perpetuating this little commenting fiasco...

i told you to go eat a worm because it was way less harsh of an insult than the one i had previously said. :: 3

and yes you should.
in other words, go away. :: 3
