I Can'T Take It Anymore Poem by David Taylor

I Can'T Take It Anymore

Rating: 5.0


I can’t take it any more:

When I look in your eyes
But no one’s in, inside

When I’m in a crowded crowd
But all alone in my own cloud

When I look inside my heart
And feel were drifting far apart

When I wake up in the morning
And I hear the sound of no one calling

When I get so, so confused
And I cannot confide in you

When I hope that I am wrong
But find out that I am right

When I answer the ringing phone
And there’s only a mono tone

When I reach the goal I set
And find it’s not what I expect

When I arrive at my destination
And it’s lost its fascination

When I struggle to get home
And find it’s just a grave

When I’m soft and so alone
And you are just like stone

I can’t take it anymore
And I don’t know what it is.

I don’t want it anymore
This is no way to exist.

And then I give a little smile
And remember this

That seasons come
And Ice will thaw

Dawn will come
And darkness will be lit.

It's funny how moods will reflect a different perspective...I read this awhile ago and thought it very optimistic...I read it now...and say to myself...but does ice always thaw? ? ? It's still a very good poem, from your heart. Hugs, Dee

Lovely poem David...You've spilled yourself upon the paper with this one...open, but still optimistic in the end. Hugs, Dee

i can understand the feelings... and as they say 'the show must go on', it really does.... no matter how dark the moments be... they too will pass...
