So, I Gave Up

Building upon hurt while your feeding on my pain Tumbling and tripping on boundaries that you should’ve never stumbled upon You’ve crossed the line Using my pain as pleasure and mixing my thoughts like flipping weeds So I Give Up I would give up everything there is to have the old me back I would love to have new beginnings and say New Years to all including myself But so sad you want differ You rather see tides calapse with the ground and raging waves in destruction While I’d rather have no fading ends and sun setting skies with calming winds The two doesn’t Mix, But opposites attract and your My magnet Should I give up? Chasing pavements isn’t my thing You keep causing fallen stones and tumbling hills Why can’t you just allow the storm to pass over before you cause the end of it all? But you don’t care The sunlight caught you eye and your judgement has been killing me but never oh so softly So I give up Why cloud over me and brag on your success of breaking me? Could I have some credit of survival? Stop putting blank spaces in this conversation and shoot you shot Instead of shooting me down build me up I am not society The Great Wall Of China is Up but your not understanding Your scaring the wall and pushing buttons I didn’t even know existed You played me Life’s a checker board, you’ve played wisely You shifted gears and knocked me down I believed in you but in easier words You lied to me I should’ve gave up You made me into something I am not I am not a giver upper But I’ve reached my stage and the audience is not enjoying the show So I gave up

You can look at it as a new beginning, starting over to be in better places, rather than giving up. It sounds like you deserve much better. Good expression in this write :)
