Sometimes Poem by John Watt

Sometimes

Rating: 5.0


Sometimes it is said,
We are only given what we can handle,
Is this true?
Sometimes what we are given is so overwhelming,
I can't believe it's true.
Is the pain and hurt more than we can handle?
Sometimes I wonder,
Would I leave more hurt than I feel?
That is the question,
What is the answer?
What is the release?

it's true...we are given only what we can handle...the trouble is, we only know this on the other end of the pain...I like the burning questions in your work...nicely done.

'Would I leave more hurt than I feel'. That is the question posed by someone with a conscience and someone who will be able to handle matters. Whatever it is that you are handling it is not too much. Surely, we are only given what we can handle.... because the upshot is, that we always do handle it. t x

John, Although you seem to be in pain right now, that doesn't mean this will always be the case. Would you leave more pain than you feel? Most likely yes...undoubtably there are people who care dearly about you...no matter what stress you are undergoing at this time...there are people who will help you get through it... I encourage you to write more... Hugs, Dee
