Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Given Up

Do this  Do that
Take this  Take that
Avoid this  Try that
Come here  Go there
Don’t do this  Don’t do that

Giving up
Throwing my hands in the air
Drained
Tired of it all
Exhausted
Partially burnt out

All out of energy and drive
Reduced to following directions
So different from barking them
Now just trying to keep up
Barely keeping it together

Sand Blown February 11, 2019 at 11:50 AM "given up" sounds like a background line to a country western song...that could be depressing Line Gauthier February 11, 2019 at 12:05 PM LOL for all the country western fans out there.

Gershon Wolf February 10, 2019 at 9:54 PM Unsure how to read this one---which helps make it a great poem! :) One thing for sure, though: The feeling comes across loud and clear! ~ Gershon Line Gauthier February 10, 2019 at 11:04 PM LOL Thanks for the lovely visit and compliment, Gershon.
