one fragment ❖ r.furude

[miisdealt]

There's a poem that I'd like for people to read and share their thoughts on. I'm not sure how good it is, so I was thinking that maybe having it in a public forum like this would allow for some discussion.

Committing a crime isn't scary.
The scary part is to admit it.

Receiving a punishment isn't scary.
The scary part is to know the pain of it.

Neither crime nor punishment will be gone from the world,
Because humans are unable to know their future.

Alternatively, if you do not like poems, or would like another question to chew on: there isn't some sort of magic that can make someone become older, is there?

You can say that curiosity killed the cat, really. If you have your own poems to share, I'd like to read them as well. Writing these sorts of things is a hobby of mine, I suppose.

That's why I said it's something new to me.

Not once have I rolled ones on the dice and landed in an afterlife school after my passing. I don't understand why I'm here to begin with.

There are an infinite amount of worlds that could be better. But the same goes for worse, too. Reincarnation doesn't guarantee a good second chance.

Coming here seems like such a mystery, but it can't be completely random, right? Otherwise I wouldn't have so many classmates from my old life here.

I could understand not wanting a second chance. I can understand wanting to rest.

I still want to do things, though. I want to play games together with people - or, whatever it is I like doing in my next life.

[miisdealt]

Who knows.

I wouldn't say that I don't want another chance.

[She doesn't say second because she's died not once, not twice. Too many times. Too many chances. She's counted them all.]

If you still want to do things, then that's worth fighting for, right?

[waitingforplayer2]

Yeah. That's why I want to beat the level and reach endgame, whatever it means! Whether I see my old friends or not... I can make new ones here, and in a new life too!

[ She wants friends in her new life so bad. ] Maybe I'll even remember some of how I figured out how to make friends on my second try, too?

[miisdealt]

That's one of the few good things about this place.

[There's many bad.

But there's some good.]
