I Can’t Do it Anymore

This poem is very moving! I like your use of metaphor. I hope that things get better and that you do find a silver lining. Michael

You know Janice, most sensitive people will relate to this. Life is not all a bed of roses. I think everyone goes through highs and lows. Thanks for sharing. Take care ... Leonard

your Poetry has always remind me of some who can take life by the horns. To me this sounded like Quiting. I knowing you from your writing and I can't except this. You are no pimp on the proverbial arse. You are a strong vibrant woman. I say F-them it's there lost and more freedom for you. Things in life always come back around in our favor. Hang tough Chiquita!! Thanks, Eddie This quote that follows is for you alone. "Rise! Revolt! Resist! Do as the bull in the face of adversity: charge with confident power." Jose de Diego

Sometimes it seems that when you try to smell the roses, you fall face first in manure. Your use of metaphor was masterly and gave it much more impact than without them. When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. Then hope the knot don't slip. Respectfully, Rett: "We can all be thankful that Picasso wasn't a plastic surgeon." Rett

it does not define you, it defines a human moment. Great poetry. cheers, Jess

This is very great writing,thank you for this one.

I admire the way you have patterned this out. I loved following the mood with every line. This is one of my favorite pieces from you. Strong writing here.

I saw this long ago, found it profound, liked it very much, and then had a hard time finding it again. The line, 'My life is a dime' is quite musical. It reminded me of an old jazz song "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime". Sorry, it's taken so long in writing to you to tell you. There's so many poems and so little time. Now I'm beginning to recognize certain styles and the people they belong to. "Can't Do It Anymore" reminded me of the first poem I ever wrote, quite dark, and that's why it attracted me. I had discovered in my computer, 7 lines, that I actually wondered had I written them; but who else? So 7 years later I finished that first one, and discovered poetry, at times an outlet, and found myself on a whole new path. Upon reading your poem, I decided mine might qualify to be posted here on Neopoet. Thank you for that as well. I am adding you to my friends list because I like your writing. Yours, Deelilah

I could feel the emotion and the mood...I have also felt this way,I think everyone does at times. Sometimes writing about it helps, at least I have found it so. Sincerely; Debbie
