Hesitation my friend lets die together
Hesitation greets me like a neighbor
Boring its eyes into my skull with a friendly smile
It has no face and no skin
It doesn’t even have eyes
The morning air is hot and solid
Like water but thicker
My hands are sweaty and covered in blisters
And my legs, do not respond
The air of dirty mornings
Shifts in scent
Till the sour tang

If I were a poem
If I were a poem
metaphoric words would dance in
synchronicity,
similes would waltz the frown
from off my face.
If I were a poem
I'd wrap sonnets around you,
Like tourniquet stanzas
healing chapters in verse.
If I were a poem
cliches would clash with
unwritten rules,
words would not rhyme and dear diary would not exist.
If I were a poem
gone would be the

Giving Up Their Motherhood
If mothers didn't bear children,
laughter would turn into monotony:
can we imagine mankind's misery?
No infant would cry when they are hungry,
no noisy kids screaming and having fun!
Wouldn't God be mad at us,
calling us evil, selfish beings?
Wouldn't empty cribs not be rocked
while a sweet lullaby is not whispered?
A mother's duty is to bear healthy children,
God gave his

HOPE BEATS GIVING UP
I was once told that "THERE IS HOPE BEYOND EVERY STRUGGLE"
Sometimes, I doubt those words & I wonder
I've been struggling all these years
But I couldn't find hope anywhere here
Every time I approached her, she flapped her wings & flew so high
Arms stretched out - but..... I couldn't reach her because I was so shy
The talents

his soul giving up
Feelings of worthlessness consumed Derek
Of course it rained today, ruining his last day off work
Drips and drops of disappointment drizzled down his dendrites
He heard his sigh before he recognized it as his soul giving up
Wasted life

Some Days
Some days...
I just want to give up.
Most days...
like I'm never good enough to
feel something real.
These days...
I feel down...
I feel down!
In need of love.
In need of love.
Someone to hold.
Someone to hold.
In need of passion.
In need of hope.
I feel I need your love...
your love...
Some days...

Quitter
Every day I try something new
And hope my plans don't go askew;
Because of this horrible quitting through and through
Thought I'd start knitting
But never thought of committing;
The name 'quitter' seems fitting.
I'll play Badminton for a day
But when it gets hard I'd rather not stay;
In this arena of players who paved their way.
They weren't like me,
Who has

Giving up on Love
Giving up on Love
In the depths of love's betrayal, I found myself adrift upon a sea of tears. Each wave brought me closer to my knees and surrendering, as if fate itself conspiring against me." Yet even as the tempest raged, I clung desperately to hope. But when faith turned to dust, and trust become

Giving up
Tonight red will hit floor, the soul will become one with the wind, The silent screams will halt and become the thank god of everyone around.
Tonight your wish will be granted and the ashes will soon turn to the hour glass, fading away will be the memory of all this figment of imagination has been

Giving up the sauce
The whiskey on your breath
could make a small boy dizzy
I taste a liquor never brewed”
Emily Dickinson's - The May Wine
I am asking my hands to stand their ground,
vintage wine leaves my soul spellbound.
I don't know where my lips are bound,
my ears hear the glass clicking sound,
I desire to run fast like a

Giving In
The rainbow comes after the storm they say
But my storms are ever lasting
And my rainbows short-lived.
I don't want to know how much I mean to the world,
When the world means nothing to me.
This constant stagnation of life is tiring
And I have waited long enough
To finally give in to the depths
Of the shadows that

If Giving Up Was An Option
down into the valley of doubt, my demons haunt
hauling in all mannerisms with glaring despair
My nights just day without light
in the glee, hopes and dreams
In my human spirit is the mystery of life
with a racing mind; this cruel world
where hard work never pay
with frustrations; a daily dose
Then I sit up

Don'T Give Way To Giving Up
Dear God and creator,
Be a giver and a believer
Never forget to forgive and endure
Never forget to let live and find Your cure
No more grieving processes
Nor will there be any more trespasses
Don’t give way to giving up!
Dopamine can be euphoric and could be a dangerous thing sometimes
Well, you know I love You and pray to You

Analysis Paralysis
When you look at your reflection in a mirror, what do you see?
I see a failure, and that failure is me.
I feel like I’m stuck yet I pace up and down.
My face is etched with a worrying frown.
The problem is I tend to fester and then over-think.
At times It’s so bad I feel like I
