Giving Up
I'm giving up...
Giving up on love...
On politics...
Giving up on happiness...
On grandiose ideas of companionship...
Of not getting wet in the rain...
Giving up on humanity...
On negativity...
Philosophy...
Humility...
Giving up on a world without pain...
Giving up on the evening news...
On all the sheep in the pews...
On the reliance of booze...
On being able to choose...
I'm giving up on beauty...
On hatred and war...
On those long walks to the drugstore...
Giving up on race, color, and creed...
On the idea that I will ever be freed...
