Easy to Give Up

4/14/24 I'm not sure exactly around where But I know she's out there With or without brown hair I can't sit and wait like a lounge chair I have to keep searching I'm now aware Too much time I've been wasting it Across all gradients Her presence full of radiance To me she is regarded in salience She has a heart of gold I start to not feel dark and cold In every part of my soul It's sad that carnage grows Yet truly amazing how karma goes I was down a path battling the hardest throes Then I stopped and said it She deserves lots of credit Difficult to say if she got the message And if what I meant was or was not effective Beside all these pots and pans Having honor can Turn you into a stronger man For you I offer my hand Originally something I couldn't grasp Now I've understood that No need to always look back Hard times should pass In the present it's nice to share some good laughs Sure at some point I could crash But that's life not everything would last Outlooks and outcomes always seemed grim and rough The never ending pressure like I never did enough I was beginning to get sick of much But with a bit of luck Plus willpower helped get rid of stuff Since it's easy to give up Yet to always go on and live is tough Next thing you know it's all gone into dust Funny how it's so different with her My life doesn't wither I always thought I'd be chopped liver That the end would not differ My choices were an odd mixture Drowned my sorrows in lots of liquor Was still lost no elixir Until I finally got the picture I was headed toward the gravesite She helped change my way of life With more than great advice Day and night She's a ray of light When I went to break the ice I figured she'd tell me to take a hike But what she had to say was nice "At times we all face a plight May pay the price Yet we can still make it right"
