Thread: Why?

True, it's hard to continue at times. But breaking off isn't the solution always.
Nice poem, but like others, the repetition in L3 and L6 doesn't read well to me.
Also, you could touch up the punctuation a bit:

Why do I bother?
Why do I try?
Why should I fight?
What is the point?
It's so hard to continue,
so why should I bother trying to fight?
I've got a solution
that will bring the conclusion:
just let me slide this piece of metal,
and break the bond of flesh.

First off, I would say that it's pretty apparent you are not depressed ... and that's the problem with this. It's an almost predictable skate across depression with a heavy sauce of nihilism, and it just doesn't do anything to add to a million and one other poems of the same ilk.

There was no angst, no depth, no realism. It was neither emotional nor gritty. Even if the main voice was supposed to be detached, it wasn't believable.The characterisation was minimal, and I didn't care about the subject (i.e. the voice) of the poem, because I couldn't relate to them, in either a positive or a negative spirit.
