It's All Too Much (Reposted)

Rate: 18 Flag

 

 

It’s all become too much for me

all this going round and round

Circling the same sharp points

 again and again

 we accomplish nothing

only manage to inflict more pain

 

It’s all become too much for me

this weariness and distress

In the midst of still more brokenness

 I don’t know what to do

I don’t know what to be

I can’t see the way to turn

Tripping lost in a tangle of words

Never right never sufficient

to lead to a conclusion 

 

Forced into dark corners

I find no place to hide

Pierced by vengeful words

I bleed

Crushed by relentless despair

I weep  

 

There’s nothing left

It’s all become too much for me

I hope you're not going through this alone. Sometimes, we need others, even if it's only the 'comfort of strangers'. I wish you comfort and I hope you find the strength to post again, some fresh words that may shine a light into those same dark places.
This is what a pure, transparent and pristine soul should feel.

Great tribute to how humans should be.

Rated.
Great poem. But if it's autobiographical, I'm really sorry. Hope things get better.

Sister, you know I feel ya'. ((((WalkAway)))). Sending all the good vibes I can spare.
hang in there and keep writing
ohhhhhhhhhhh, sweetie.... I am so with you.

I was stuck in the Atlanta airport on Monday... shoulda called you.

Much love tonight. xoxo
I walked away.
I'm sorry.
You said a mouthful. I'm with you, sister.
You write about pain and you do it well.
At the risk of sounding trite, I do feel you pain as I read your poetry. It is a tribute to your writing that you continue to reach others' hearts and touch them.
well written. hope it's not about you; if it is, that you find something/someone to comfort you.
"Pierced by vengeful words

I bleed"


Oh, hon, as a person I find that so sad, but as a poet, it is so, so beautiful. Tearful snaps.

And a big assed hug, just cuz.
I thank you all. This was a difficult post for many reasons; your kindness and kind words have meant a great deal...as always.
What an effective piece dealing with raw emotions. You did a beautiful job with the pain.
Much love ... don't I know ...
