I give up

 

I give up

I can’t handle it

It’s too painful

 

I took a chance

I really did

I never will again

 

I give up

It’s too real

Too much

 

I can’t live

Life is fading

I give up

Believe me no 1 has truly put the concept of "giving up" in a more better form than this lady. its true this a situation we all can relate to even thugh we have'nt given up ,but the feeling as depicted in this piece has existed in most if not all...........its because of feelings like these that quotes such as "as long as i live i hope" exist. short and deep, straight and thought provoking..............thanks for sharing this.

why did you give up? Don't you love reality then? Do you always love something that is in dream?

Sorry for asking these questions!!

The poem is good, simple, and nourished with the true pain that someone has.

Thank you.

I must have said this a thousand times through the years. Good job!

Yes, each time I have taken the risk for love - and I have been brutally cut down, I have said this to myself. Yet, foolishly, I find that I do it again. At some point, I may not say this - having found love - or perhaps I will say it, and be able to stick to my guns on it so to speak. I am dancing that fine line at this moment right now... this was a hard piece for me to read while at work; but I thank you for sharing this with us.

Great line.."I can only move along with time". I like the flow of this one.

This is great poem. Its so true and hurtful. I don't think you should give up but, sometimes it feels like that's all a person can do. I love it. :)

A feeling of sadness, when you feel there is nothing more you can cope with, broken hearts, separation, and
life, that often makes us feel this way.
I hope its not a reflection of how you truely are.
