I Can't Do It

It is easy for some people

To talk and write of their lives

And others' curiosity

Seems to be as sharp as knives.



I don't know why I can't do it-

I just know that I cannot!

The things that happened in my life

Will stay with me 'til I rot.



So sorry any readers who

Like to stand in others' shoes

And feel they've gone through the same things

So what have either to lose?



You have not gone what I've gone through-

And perhaps your life was worse.

I'm not about to explain mine

In some little rhyming verse.



So think me cold, think I deserve

Every nasty thing I got.

My poetry is my escape

To a good life I had not.
