Steve M. Poet Rhyme

Too Muchto Take

There’s so much on my mind,
There’s too much to take. 
The thought of it all,
Enough for a mind to break. 
I haven’t eaten in days,
I haven’t slept in weeks. 
Deaf ears hear me pray,
It’s too much to take. 
I’ve fallen so hard,
On troubled times. 
Life dealt a bad card,
It’s too much to take. 
Can you see me,
Can you see my pose?
Becoming a deity,
You watch me in my throes. 
I want something in return,
Anything I will take. 
Waiting forever I learn,
This was a mistake. 
It’s too much to take.
