2007-04-23 Annie: Beautiful poem, worth commenting on. ;) You're a great poet. Normally repetition annoys me, but here I saw that you spiced it up a bit in different places but adding one repetition to another line and that made it more interesting. It also spoke to me because it reminds me of how confused life makes me. 2007-04-23 mousepoet: Life is terribly confusing to me as well. Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments. I really appreciate them.[mousepoet]: 243.mousey's Poetry.I cannot hold it all

I cannot hold it all,
I sure cannot believe it all.
I sure cannot believe it all
Is happening right now.
I cannot hold it all,
I sure cannot grip tight it all.
I sure cannot grip tight it all
Within my failing grasp.
I cannot hold it all.
I sure can fail them all.
I sure can fail them all
Without the touch of chance.
I cannot hold it all.
I know I cannot know it all.
I know I cannot know it all
That I should truly know.
I cannot hold it all!
I crumble underneath it all.
I crumble underneath it all!
But do you truly know?
I cannot hold it all!
I want to swift escape it all.
I want to swift escape it all!
But none do truly know.
I cannot hold it all.
I cannot know it all.
I cannot believe, grip tight,
Succeed, stand strong.
I cannot hold it all.
I cannot hold it all.
I cannot hold it all
i cannot hold it all
i cannot
hold it
all
