[bodytext] => There is a limit to what I can take
There is a limit until I break
There is a limit until I give in to my fears
There is a limit to how much I can cry
I fear I have reached that limit
As I flee from what h(a)unts me
Driven only by anxiety and a broken will
Before I crack and give in to my longings
My longing to see (feel) the razor
Pressed against my skin
It will take more than I get,
But I need anything now
I long for love,
But my heart is rotten and black
It is hard to follow what you preach
Dispense advice and to stubborn
To ask for some
Bury everything six feet under
Until I am weakened
From holding everything down
Pure will pushes me onward
Even though I crawl
On bloodied hands and knees
I feel, but only hurt and pain
The gnawing grows
As I choke back sobs
Chewing on them until I break
Resentment, directed at myself, only grows
Take me away from this
Take me as I am
Broken and drowning
I offer you nothing,
But I can't do this alone
As I cry and crawl back to you
I beg for your love
I beg to feel you
I beg for you to hold me
I can't do this alone
And I know you accept me as I am

I've never read anything of yours that wasnt honest Joel. You've always had a way of expression that lets the reader feel your agony.
I'm at my limit too my friend
Very well done
Barkeep!

I found this very moving, and the ending, beautiful. Comfort for the broken (heart, will, life) is one of the better things that we will ever see in this life.
It is hard to follow what you preach
Dispense advice and to stubborn
To ask for some
Right with you there. Take care, old man.

I thought you did a good job on this one - especially because it
is so emotional and close to you - those usually mean the
most to me. This isn't your best - but like always I like it and
it's good - I've yet to read something of your I'm not a fan of!

Bo, this one broke my heart.
I could relate to the feel of your poem. Sometimes I struggle so strongly that I wear myself down. I do want to scream that I have limits and I cannot take any more.
Being held, loved and accepted. I couldn't ask for anything more.
This was so elegant, yet sad and it really stirred alot of emotion inside of me.
