Give It Up

I gave up myself
to be you
I watched myself go
vaporize into the wisp
where dreams go and your life
dies
a hard death 
give up
its done
its over
yes
I can be you
i can be anyone
its the secret you find
midlife
when youve crossed the line
between
possiblity
and no chance in hell
so you might as well
sit on that barrel
on that porch and just
give it up
