Notes About The Poem

   

I Cannot Hold the World Up

My   senses  are  more intense than usual 

My throat tightens

My jaws ache

My eyes well up for tears

Why?  Why do I feel like crying?

Can’t anyone see I cannot hold the world up for everyone?

Daniel Turner September 8, 2016 at 9:15 AM Mrs Eve, this is a very emotive write. Sometimes we just have to take a step back and relax. Get some fresh air. Go for a walk beside a river or lake. Day to day life can be a very heavy load. Eve Roper September 9, 2016 at 9:22 AM It is so hard sometimes Daniel, that is why I wrote the poem" Strife, Please Stop Knocking At My Door ". It seems once it gets started it doesn't want to stop... Hugs

Beverly Read September 7, 2016 at 4:11 PM Even just listening to others who need to talk about their problems is a heavy load. I have no answers for them and like the way you've expressed it. Eve Roper September 9, 2016 at 9:26 AM Thank you Beverly, there really is no answer just live from day to day and hope for the best. With Lots Of Prayers. Hugs

Janis Medders Tobechi September 7, 2016 at 11:02 AM Eve, you can feel the fatigue in these lines. Very moving. Love the line, "I cannot hold the world up." it shows the weight of responsibility. Eve Roper September 7, 2016 at 12:21 PM Thank you, Janis, that is how times feels. Hugs
