Give Up On Me Poem by Fareez Phalez

I've tried a lot in my life
And I've failed a lot too
Forgive me I've given up
But please give up on me too

I just wished you've seen my efforts
But all you cared was the results
I didn't get much support
All I've been getting were insults

It's not anger that I have
Just a burden I don't want to be
They're as heavy as the hopes
That you have placed on me

Hope you don't get me wrong
I can accept my failure
But I just find it so hard
When you put me under pressure

And the reason I'm a fool today
Is 'cause I'm not doing my best
For people will expect better
And I'm not up for the test

So just give up on me
And I'll really appreciate that
I wouldn't be offended
In fact I would be glad
