Perhaps to you i'm
only a person,
who wishes
every day to,
run.
Sometimes
us a humans
ingnore things, we
can not see that
infact,
death is the only way to
exist.
don't you understand
everything is planned,
at one point in
time you
have to die.
For me
life is
a passage way to a
much greater
existance.
how do you see me
an annomaly
that shouldn't
exist?

I love your minimalistic approach Andrew, it's always better to say a lot in few words than nothing in many! My favourite was;
Sometimes
us a humans
ingnore things, we
can not see that
infact,
death is the only way to
exist.
But should the 'a' be 'as' or it can work without and just be 'us humans'.
I also liked:
'how do you see me
an annomaly
that shouldn't
exist?'
Can I just make a suggestion for the punctuation, please feel free to ignore but I feel there should be something after 'me' such as;
'How do you see me?
An annomaly
that shouldn't
exist?'
or
'How do you see me,
an annomaly
that shouldn't
exist?'
Again, they are just suggestions and if this was intentional for a reason I haven't picked up on let me know ;)
Excellent, thought-provoking read!

Yes, I too enjoyed your minimalist structure. This is a dark, brooding poem made even more so when the acrostic is deciphered. The penultimate stanza, though, remains positive. Look forward to reading more of your work.
