I can't do it anymore
I have nothing left to give.
I am tired of it all
I have nothing left for to live.
With all that I have done
The pain is intense,
There is no way I can win
And my life makes no sense.
Help me my Lord
Give my heart the will.
I need the love of God
I need my life to be real.
Forgiveness is all that I ask
I am sorry that I have failed
I cry, for what I have not done
My life has been derailed.
Forgiveness, Forgiveness,
I say I am sorry to you all.
Forgiveness, Forgiveness,
May you all stand tall.
I have lived this torturous life,
To serve you all in kind.
I have given all I have to give.
Now I leave it all behind
Forgive me for leaving you
It is not my life's decision
I would stay if I really could
But the lord has me on other missions.
Forgiveness, Forgiveness,
I say I am sorry to you all.
Forgiveness, Forgiveness,
May you never ever fall.
I take my leave now,
I wish you all well.
May god be always with you,
May you please, my stories tell.
REB (FEB 2012) I sometimes just want to give up (but I won't, I love life too much.) Forgive me for writing this.

I would like to translate this poem
The poem is very sad but it speaks eloquently of how most of us feel sometimes, and that makes the poem relevant to a reader. I read it as a reader and not as a writer, and it does touch the human side of us all. The resolute last lines redeem the hopelessness conveyed in the first few lines, leaving a message of challenge...of trying again.
