Giving Up Poem by Amy Fifita

Giving Up

Rating: 5.0


My whole life stood at my feet,
And i just stomped on it;
Squishing all my hopes, my dreams,
Destroying what i had done good for.
Disintergrating my life,
Until it was useless,
Until i was useless.
Casting out all good thoughts,
Good memories, all good things.
Blacking out my somba feelings,
And replacing it with bad manner.
Pushing away the people i knew cared,
Until they looked down on me.
Putting up walls to make people dislike me,
To make them not care.
Doing things as a cry for help,
But in their eyes a bad deed.
I had nothing to hold on to,
I had no one to care for me,
I felt i had no other option,
I knew i, myself would end.
Knowing one person could take my burdens away,
But feeling i deserved it.
Giving up on my friends, my family,
Giving up on everything i had earnt for myself,
Giving up on life itself.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Sad but very touching. New beginnings usually come when we have reached the end of our selves. Keep writing.
