    Poem Commentary

    Doubting myself-lack of courage and determination

    Can I do this?

     Can I do this?
    Yes, I can...But I am
    Still fighting myself-Can
    Someone take this burden off
    Of my shoulders? Right now,
    I wish I was someone else-
    Yes, someone else can do this
    Because I don't think I can,
    Nobody understands the pressure
    I am under and nobody cares.

    There are dead-lines that must be met!
    There are people waiting in line for
    Me to hurry up and finish!

    All this rushing-inside of me-only
    Worsens my depression and anxiety...
    Should I just lay back, be care-free and
    Not worry about life at all?
    Or should I do what I can and still
    Think that it was the best, Be strong?

    Can I do this?
    Yes, I can, but Doubt is
    Laughing at me,Poor self-
    Is there no one but Love
    To encourage your heart?
    Maybe I don't need anyone else-
    Maybe Love and Grace are just enough
    To pull me through this mess...

    As I confess, the question still remains,
    Can I do this? Will I do this?
    If I can't, Please help me.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
