    Poem Commentary

    Doubting myself-lack of courage and determination

    Can I do this?

     Can I do this?
    Yes, I can...But I am
    Still fighting myself-Can
    Someone take this burden off
    Of my shoulders? Right now,
    I wish I was someone else-
    Yes, someone else can do this
    Because I don't think I can,
    Nobody understands the pressure
    I am under and nobody cares.

    There are dead-lines that must be met!
    There are people waiting in line for
    Me to hurry up and finish!

    All this rushing-inside of me-only
    Worsens my depression and anxiety...
    Should I just lay back, be care-free and
    Not worry about life at all?
    Or should I do what I can and still
    Think that it was the best, Be strong?

    Can I do this?
    Yes, I can, but Doubt is
    Laughing at me,Poor self-
    Is there no one but Love
    To encourage your heart?
    Maybe I don't need anyone else-
    Maybe Love and Grace are just enough
    To pull me through this mess...

    As I confess, the question still remains,
    Can I do this? Will I do this?
    If I can't, Please help me.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
