Poem Commentary

Another older poem from last year...but some things dont change that much

Too Much

I wish I were like rain
I would nourish the drought
I wish I were like water
strong but soft
smoothing around the edges
and not to harsh sometimes
it seems the only time I'm caring
is when I write these lines
I spent my life in someone elses skin
breaking free I dont return
somehow I travel
but I never learn
I'm to harsh when I speak
and to quiet when I don't
I anger myself for the things I do
and fear myself for the things I don't
I'm to friendly
but I'm to mean
I'm so caring
but the most hateful thing you've ever seen
I wish I were more graceful
more calm and subdued
but even if I were
that would be too much too
someone give me a smoke
someone just leave me alone
im just so tired of talkin
Im just so sick of bein grown
takin care of myself fine
even though I'm here
and if I stop and think about it
well then there is too much fear
well where is my damn hero
did I scare him away
nobody wants to rescue me
at least not this way
I'm to much to pay for
and to much to save
I'm too much when I'm careful
I'm to much when I misbehave
I wish I could be quiet
but then what the use
whats wrong? are you tired?
thats too much too

I like this Poem Danie.. I think, I can feel what you are trying to tell on this Poem..

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.
