Tried And Cried
You tried, tried
And you cried
You never gave up
You found hope
As a last resort
Because you fought
Until the last drop of blood
Until the last shade of mud.
You are my angel, my hero
You refused to fall and to go
You cried, cried
And tried, tried
To succeed against all odds
You were strong and you wore pads
You tried, tried
And you cried.
Heroes cry

Rise and Go
When morning softly calls your name,
Yet body begs for sleep’s embrace,
Remember, dreams still burn their flame,
And only you can set their pace.
When obstacles block every view,
And others claim, “It’s not for you,”
Stand firm and say, “I’ll see this through,
My steps will break these walls in two.”
When hope feels lost and skies are grey,
Let heart become

Don't Give up
Hard to say,if I stay
Like that,
But I say,I remind
It all,
Whether as a good or
As a bad,
I cann't say,I cann't
Change tomorrow,
I'm human,I may change
But not give up
Till I don,t get death.

Taking back what's mine
Screams taking up all I own
Screams making me believe I am no one
Screams enchanting him over my sorrow
Cause his joy only lies on my failed tomorrow.
They try and try
To ensure I give up
My eyes cry
For they never give up.
They take my beauty
They take my time
They take my energy
To I can never

Never Give Up - Poor Man’s Steak
Together, my parents faced two world wars, the great depression, floods, fires, and some things that would bring most people to their knees. Imagine just where I would be if they had just decided that things were too rough and chucked in the towel. At the time, I didn’t think they had a lot to

Don't Give Up
The forces of the wind presses against my back
Moving along the past while under attack
Situation can be critical but don't think too long
Make a motion to stop the enemy when they invade your home
Push with confidence, find strength from above
The power of nature is not what you dreamed of
Have a bargaining chip unleashed from your

Don’t Give Up on Me
A million stumbles, a million falls,
A heart that falters, a spirit calls.
I fight the darkness, claw at the light,
Though shadows cling with all their might.
Don't count the failures, the bruises deep,
The battles lost where sorrows weep.
See the flicker, the spark within,
The restless yearning, the fight to win.
I stumble often, I lose my way,
The path is

I Never Give Up
The path is rough, the road is steep,
The shadows linger, the nights run deep.
Yet in my heart, a flame does burn,
With every fall, I rise, I learn.
The storms may roar, the winds may fight,
But I will walk, guided by light.
Defeat may whisper, "You’ve

she will not give up her absurd ideas
She will not give up her absurd ideas
No matter how strange, bizarre or unplausible they are
Holding them in her wheel well, ready to toss them out to everyone
Defending them up, down and sideways
She learned this from me.
I am her mother.

Never Give Up
Courage is not having the strength to go on; it is going on when you don’t have the strength. –Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), 26th President of the United States
A year of heartbreak, soundless as the stars
who glitter, surreal, remembering
while we make our wishes, feel the darkness
surrounding, gentling at best…
the beautiful kiss of a lonely death,

Vice's I Can't Give Up
I'll not repent these sins of mine,
The love that burns, the stars that shine.
Compassion's touch, my aching heart,
Empathy's thread that stitches where sorrow starts.
I trust the winds that whisper through the pines,
And freedom's taste in horizontal lines.
The ocean's song, a hymn to the skies,
Its waves, like breath, it's endless rise and fall.
The bushes bow, the

Don't give up on love
Experiencing life discovering how love works
learning from past choices and mistakes
accepting how life ebbs and flow fluctuates
not allowing the heart stagnate from break-ups
moving on can be hard and painful, but vital
love don't suppose to hurt, rejection do
whether unconditional or conditional love
heartbroken proceed on, you will heal
those feelings can leave deep wounds
don't let it

Miracle Man
11/20/2024
Each person is given
an allotted time from birth,
We use this time, dubbed life,
trying to prove our worth.
Many will become famous
accomplishing great things,
While the disadvantaged
dreams of living like kings.
Many face daily laboring
in the days scorching heat,
Grubbing out an existence
without shoes on their feet.
While the affluent thinks daily
of a menu’s choice of meat,
The impoverished

Kingdom Come
I'm stuck between two choices. Is it this, or is it that?
So much weight rides upon my back.
A pack mule to the world, and a slave to my envy.
Staying faithful to people, desiring no glory.
Yet I fight to stay on my journey. As others sit, and write my story.
Nothing flashy do
