Five Confessions Of A Murderer

by Simple Sensation   May 7, 2007


Today you will hear my confessions;
Five untold truths...
Today you will hear my confessions;
Things you never knew...

My first confession is a whisper of hate;
Felt towards the teacher's breath.
He abused her, ruined her life...
His one whisper called her near.

The next confession is a touch of confusion;
Inside of the deep dark mind.
Wonder if it was good or bad, right or wrong
When I held up that gun...

The middle confession is a messed up love;
How far would one go?
To help someone who you truly loved
Would you help give her back her soul?

The fourth confession is a rush of panic;
As I stand covered deep in blood.
Stare in disgust at his face
I turn and run - far away.

My final confession is overwhelming grief;
As I stand nearing her grave
Tears roll down as realisation occurs;
He took her life; so I took his.

Today you read my five confessions,
Each led towards the main.
Feelings made me commit this crime
My feelings are my confessions...

    This poem was very deep. I could tell he was stuck in a really deep love, and the anger of how this abusive man treated his love made the murderer decide to kill him. I think it was an amazing poem, I could imagine the struggle he was going through. I loved it! 5/5

    Hey, hows it going? Ok so everyone who has previously commented on this poem have most likely said it all but here his my littlt opinion. I enjoyed the poem, firstly beacuse of the confessions are realistic, they felt as if one had actually committed these sins. Secondly because that this peom holds originality and flare, and an ability to reach within a reader and make them test themselves and question themselves on whether the can understand this poem and its meaning.

    My favourite stanza was:
    My final confession is overwhelming grief;
    As I stand nearing her grave
    Tears roll down as realisation occurs;
    He took her life; so I took his.

    This stanza has this emotional barrier and when you begin to understand this peom you can begin to understand the barrier to this stanza and its heart felt emotion! Great work, excellently penned. -xx-

    Um ok...honestly, I was a little confused. I mean I couldn't really catch on to who was talking. At first it sounded like the murderer, but then it sounded like someone taking revenge on the murderer. But then I thought it might have the been the murderer who then took his own life. So I just wasn't sure. But it was an amazing idea...and it was actually chill giving. I mean after I reread it I liked it more...I would say that it has a lot of potential. I mean the main idea that threads through was very pure and it remained steady, but again it was a little confusing. I hope that made at least a little sense and helped you a little. :)

    We all have feelings that are confessions, but most never speak of them. I liked this poem and the meaning in it's words, "he took her life; so I took his" I really liked that line. Excellent job again 5/5
