It’s a boy!
I quit.
I’m gay.
Never again.
I do.
I’m pregnant.
You’re drunk.
HELP!
The winner is…
I don’t know.
It’s cancer.
I got accepted!
It’s over.
She’s dead.
You’re hired.
We need to talk.
Will you marry me?
I’m fine.
I’m sorry.
I love you.
The End.

I really enjoyed it, usually people believe that to say something really meaningful, it has to be a long drawn out speech, but in your poem here you prove that the most powerful and emotional messages exchanged throughout life are often short, three of four words. There is no need for more, there is no explanation required. I loved your poem and the message I scooped out of it. Great job!

This is one of the more creative entries in the contest,
it made me chuckle, I like it, with the title and all the different sayings.. lol...makes for an entertaining and each line says something new, and makes me think of a different situation, thanks again.
