Giving Up

We get those times in our lives where we question what we are doing. Those times where we really have to take a step back and re-evaluate the man in the mirror. And when I do, I sometimes want to give up. I’m speaking candidly. There are several times where I just want to quit. I get to that edge where my back gets weak from the pressure and I want to give it all back. Then you hear, “You cant give up. You must stay strong. It will get better.” How do you know? You are not walking in my shoes. That’s why I want to know, How do you know something is worth it? Why would I keep pushing? I have wanted to quit, but I could not tell you the reason why I haven’t. Will this so called motivation last? Or will I finally get weary and break?? What’s worth the pain, grief, the tears, & the struggle?

I’m ready to give up,
I’m at the point to hang it up.
I’m about to quit,
Because I don’t think this is worth it.
My path is not riding toward succeeding.
My motivation for this is leaving,
They say, “You know success does not come easy.”
But when I wanted to move forward, no one supported me.
So now I feel empty and stuck,
I’m out of faith and out of luck.
I could really use somebody right about now,
The pressure got me in this corner breaking down.
My grasp is getting weaker,
My pain is getting deeper.
You try, You dream, & You Pray,
My eyes get sore from crying day by day.
I gave you all of this,
And you gave me nothing but shit.
When I tried to be somebody,
You turned me down as if I were a nobody.
So you win,
I quit now before I make it to the end.
Here take it I don’t want it anymore,
I couldn’t even tell you what I did it for.
