Not Renunciation Just Giving Up Poem by Ranjith Wijekoon

Not Renunciation Just Giving Up



I have given up
everything I held dear
but it was not
renunciation
I gave up thinking
to be free
to feel freedom.
I still feel like
in shackles
for I have given away
with left hand and
clung on
with right hand.
