I Can't

Just a Thought...

By Shyanne CarlsonPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

I can't.

I can't think of what to write

I can't think of what to say

I can't think

I can't STOP thinking

I can't see past it

I can't see

I can't see past the haze

I can't see the future

I can't feel

I can't feel it

I can't feel it beat me black and blue

I can't get enough

I can't get past it

I can't get back from it

I can't step back from the edge

I can't step forward off of it

I can't breathe

I can't hold my tears back

I can't cry

I can't speak

I can't STOP talking about everything but

I can't hold back

I can't let go

I can't not

I can't anyway

I love

I can't fight

I can't smile

I can't get angry

I can't be consoled

I can't find a resolution

I can't get away

I can't accept it

I can't run from it

I can't anymore

I can't.
