Poem 33. Giving Up

is sometimes the right thing to do

I am done, I have to stop!
Why should I expect too much?
I've been hurt and I am trapped
Lone into this  caprice spot.

Am I weak if I give up?
No! It is not what it means.
Letting go? I'm strong enough.
I can do it, no more pains.

I am strong, I am, I am
I'm giving up for the best
I am strong, I know I am
I'm a newborn, I'm at ease!

i once experienced a situation wherein giving up was not an option. i'm glad that i never give up. but it is always practical to pick our own battles. if giving up would let you feel renewed as a new born, then perhaps giving up is the best thing to do. Nice dhaye!
