Because I can't stop

Because I can't stop

A Poem by Carl Drake Barnard

Moving like the speed of sound

I Cant seem to keep on the ground

cant stay in one place

I keep moving on to end my race

 

Because I cant stop time

I cant stop worrying in my mind

All these spaces I take cant defined

All my sorrows I try to leave behind

 

I cant stay the same

Nor stop to be tame

I Cant stop feeling this pain

coursing through my veins

 

Because I cant stop crying'

My body keeps trying

Forcing my self to keep lying

That you aren't dying

I could feel the pain and emotion in your words. There is no doubt in my mind you wrote this from your heart - and you have touched mine.

Thank you Julie for all your kind words,means a lot! :)
Sometimes we are addicted to pain, as if you need to feel something... and when you try to shut it out you become a fiend for it....you can't stop...

Well done... An emotional write, indeed....

Hello dear. This poem is really great. I like the rhyme scheme and I can feel your pain. I hope things start looking up to you. Keep up the good work

Small point..remember your apostrophes in contractions :)

Hehe I had a insane good writer teacher we wrote together and showed me a lot :)
Strong in emotional content and feeling...there is a vulnerability to your words even when you are being strong. I find the flow of this one a little stilted in terms of the rhyme, which I think held back piece just a little bit, but that didn't take away from the message, which shined brightly and beautifully.
