I had to quit!

 

 

My sins were dark

And I could not see

The path-

No light, no hope, no sun

I was lost.

So, I had to quit myself

To start again.

Sometimes it is better to quit than stubbornly proceed. Many have shown wrong perseverance, only to fail and further lose hope and spirit.

But once one quits, one should try again. This time, with a better strategy, and higher spirits. Quitting does not need to mean to let go, but to stand back, analyze, and attack again.

A very good insight

The style was simple and yet it conveyed a powerful message.

Very good insight. Thanks for sharing it.

So many different ways to look at this, but I love the thought (and always have) that at any moment you can change and start over again.

In the starting I found the poem going towards a pessimist track but the last line changed the entire mean and made it such a vibrant piece of writing!
This is what I often feel and thus I found it very much close to me :)
Thanks for sharing it here, a great piece of writing :)

This is most impressive both for the style and also the content - though it treats a dark and weighty subject, it ends quickly on a strong optimistic not. Reminds me, in spirit, of the writings of the phenomenal Eknath Easwaran, one of my favorites

Does this insinuates that we have more lives to live, and when we don't like what we have to do in this one we just slip out of it and put on a new skin and begin anew?!? :)

A very important message in this dark phrases is :

--- To start again ---

It shows that you are willing to try again in an other way.

A tiny, but very impressive write!
