When You Feel Like Giving Up

When You Feel Like Giving Up

A Poem by Laura Harrison

Life is a road with so many speed bumps on it that it will make you want to throw up.

It is that b***h that kicks you down again when you have only just dusted yourself off the ground.

But there is a reason why it is called ‘life.’

Because you are supposed to live it.

So when you feel like giving up, remember that there are still books you haven’t read and songs you haven’t heard.

There are still places you have never seen and people that you have never met.

And there is your dream waiting at the end of the rainbow for you.

 

Life can make you feel lonely sometimes.

It can make you feel like the only person in the world who isn’t loved.

But if you only looked over your shoulder, you would see all the people who care about you are one step behind you.

So when you feel like giving up, remember that you may be lonely, but you are never alone.

 

Life is a ladder, and you have to see every day to climb to the top of it.

You have to believe that tomorrow is guaranteed and that it won’t always be the same as yesterday.

So when you feel like giving up, remember that this is not the end

And that the light at the end of the tunnel may sometimes be just a train, but one day, it won’t be.

 

Life is a miracle.

There are over 7,000 atoms in your body that emit light but never die out

So why should you?

When you feel like giving up, don’t.

I really loved this one. I can relate to it more than I care to admit, and I think you expressed that feeling of loneliness perfectly. Keep It up.
