Giving Up The Battle Poem by kimber harrison

A million tears I cry,
why can't at least one take away the pain?
A million fears I hide,
why can't, at least one, my heart face?
A million questions asked,
why can't at least one I get an anwser to?
A million years have past,
why can't time change the things I do?
A million dreams I've dreamt,
why can't one give me hope?
A million mistakes un-meant,
why can't one teach me to cope?

Why can't I just be free?
Why am I held back with these chains of doubt?
Why can I not just be?
Why can't I just get out?

I'm held back!
I want to be released!
My body goes slack,
I've given up...finally..

I never thought myself a quiter,
I always stuck it through.
But sometimes, when your in a battle,
...you just have to lose.


P/N: There have been A LOT (well, like maybe 3, but whatever)
and I need everyone who reads this to know
it IS NOT BASED ON PERSONAL EXPERIENCE!
I am a very happy and healthy child.
I don't have thoughts like this...well ever.
I wrote it because I could sympathize, NOT empathize,
what OTHER people are going through.
Hope you enjoy.
