Don'T Give In

Remember surrender is something you choose
to stop painful cuts and refrain from bruise,
it's an excuse you use in order to lose,
but if you go again in vain against the grain 
you could obtain a gain that gains momentum
and one moment of mounting passion 
could amount to you moving mountains, 
outing the doubt in yourself 
and neglecting the negative that lives
with nothing to give but sabotage gifts
will see fate shift winds 
that rescind the s**t stain self opinion you let live on the shelve
and with all that's yours you can endure escape from the jaws of defeat,
do not allow yourself be beat, 
feel your heart that still beats,
if it's not still you're able to compete, 
just don't start to weep 
and be aware you're not weakened 
enough yet to see a bleak end. 
Why give in when you can begin,
if you didn't win just take it on the chin,
don't ever let it break you down within,
instead of give in, begin, and you can still win.
