Quit Poems

The Seed That Wouldn’t Quit

They told me, “Stop, it’s not your way,
Your path is wrong, your sky is gray.”
But roots don’t listen to the crowd,
they grow beneath the noise so loud,
and reach for light they’ve never seen.

I walked the fields they never crossed,
counted the hours they thought were lost.
Their easy crowns were quickly worn,
but I kept building, thorn by

I Wish You'd Quit Drinking

When I think about you drinking alcohol,

I start to feel disgust.

Your absent-mindedness

makes all my feelings feel so just.

When you took alcohol from random men

and excused it—

it caused me distrust.



Seeing you wasted that time

really messed up all of my brain.

It makes me relive those moments—

and all I feel is pain.

When you got a ride from a

Premium MemberNew And Old Dreams

Dreams, new and old dreams, we all dream
We all dream of chocolate and ice cream
We all dream of monsters, bandits and angels
We all dream of good, bad guys and devils
That’s where nightmare comes into play
We all dreams of better days in May
When the temperature is cool, welcoming and warm
Spring fever brings hope, something new and

In A Box

You put me in a box—
'Cause that’s what makes you comfortable.
You put me in a box—
'Cause that’s what makes you strong.
You put me in a box
And tell me
That’s where I belong.

You put me in a box
To keep me
Contained.
Controlled.
You put me in a box
To strip away my soul.

You put me in a box
And seal it up

How I Quit Jersey for Juliapa

It’s tattooed lightly on my upper arm
“I love my mom, and she loves me”, it reads.
A squad from Space Force dragged me in the weeds:
“We’ve nailed you, boy. You’ll do no further harm.”

I woke in Guatemala, feeling calm:
I knew that an American who pleads
such stuff as ‘habeas corpus’ oft succeeds,
and sought me out a lawyer,

Dnt quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes we'll and do.
When thr road you're trusting seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the depts are high.
And you want to smile , but you ha e to sigh. When care is 
Pressing you down a bit.
Rest!!!!
If you must, but dnt you quit!!!

The Relentless Saga Part 2: The Eternal Defiance

To my last breath, I will live and defy,
unyielding in resolve, my enemies,
know this: I will never, ever yield.
Each strike you planned has only sparked my blaze,
a light so fierce it sears the world itself.

I rise beyond defeat, unbroken, whole
my life not mine alone, but theirs I guard.
I breathe, I fight, I live, unyielding flame,

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

Don't Quit

When the road you walk on 
reaches its end, 
And you find no other pathway,
Create a road,
But, don't quit. 

When the stone of hardships
falls on you,
Lift it with patience, 
But, don't quit.

If the darkness of failure
Engulfs your heart, 
Light a match, 
But, don't quit. 

When a storm obstructs your path
Hold on 
Take shelter
But, don't quit.

Mustn't Quit

Life is strange with twists and turn,
All we can do is fail and learn;
With little hope and scars that burn,
Don't just sit but make tables turn.

Things might go wrong, sometimes they will,
Come back strong when patience try you to kill;
Stick to the fight when the hardest hit,
Even things seems worst, you mustn't quit.

Never let yourself

Time to quit

Zelensky as Putin’s when greeted, 
K Harris same as D Trump treated,
Ere old age takes over,
Time ‘tis to move over
When debate gets far too much heated.
Yet, wisdom in old age 
Falls short when faced with rage,
Heart may hail but falls short the tired head.
