This is a really good poem. I think it describes the life of somebody who tries to escape from pain instead of trying to learn from it very well. "What doesn't kill you will make you stronger." I guess this person was pretty weak. The ending really made the point come through.

very good poem! it relates to me and probably so many people! i love the lesson of life's going to suck no matter what you do. very nicely written. bravo!

...Mike? ...Dude! Where did you come from??
Liked the poem. Not sure about the ne'er at the end, but otherwise it's yay.

...no, seriously, where did you come from?!

It's interesting. The ending is odd and lack the rhyming in some lines (however intentional) doesn't seem to fit very well. But overall, I like it.

i'm not sure i like the end, but it's still a great piece.
