Quitting Poems - Poems about Quitting

Do you now feel at ease?

Do you now feel at ease? 

When it's all said and done
When you've seen and loved
Saw the darkest side of life
And even questioned the sands of time

When you looked up in the sky
And acknowledged the beauty of the sun
Seen storms imbibe people and trees
How did you feel? 

When you sometimes had friends
But sometimes thought you

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

Premium MemberNo Quitting In the Dark

We pass the fire sticks near the police cars,
lit.
Bright round moon shine, that’s it.
The fit,
from the tall and small,
still they’d rather walk then sit
with grandpa in the car.
We are so close to home. Each keeps their wit
and acumen, as we trudge through the dark -
feels dangerous, but we don’t quit,
even when grandpa gives a second

This Land Is Your Land But With a Quarter Life Crisis

This life is my life
Why is this my life
So I shout YOLO 
Maybe I'll try van life
Cause escapism
And romanticizing 
Are all that's really driving me

And maybe one day
I'll really do it
I'll quit my job and
I'll get right to it
Because they told me
That time is money 
So right now I'm rich as I can be

I Will Not Be Quitting You

I will not be quitting you


I’m not ready to be quitting you;
I still need your love.
You may be ready, but I will never be,
Ready to give up.

Smoke Free - Part Iv

I'm happy to say that I quit smoking half a year ago.
It's been six months today since I last smoked tobacco.
When I was presented with the opportunity to quit, I decided to reach out and grab it.
All that I needed was some nicotine patches and faith in God to be able to kick the habit.
I

Quitting Time

Years ago I worked in Houston;
In a Super-Store.
I often worked the night-shift;
I worked out on the floor.

It was honest money;
But sometimes the work was hard.
I was glad at quitting time,
When it was time to punch my card.

It was dark when work was finished;
I walked to my car alone.
But it made me little difference;
Cause it was

When Love Gives Up

Baby steps, followed by
a child's stumbling,  
teenage sprained ankles,
broken bones and
bodies covered with bruises,
adults take two steps forward
followed by one step back.

What of the person with no feet?
Hasn't he a reason to succeed.
His will shaped by submission
to a higher power than his own
encouraged by right mentors.
Elderly invalids often leap
into service through a
ministry from their

Smoke Free - Part Ii

I've been smoke free two months today.
I haven't smoked and I hope that's how things will stay.
Please don't start smoking, it wasn't a good thing for me to do.
Please say no to nicotine because that is what is best for you.

Admitting Than Quitting

Admitting Than Quitting

Was truly my style to start sitting,
While all my bad habits admitting;
Started to count them one by one;
Then when I was finished and done
Them concurrently started quitting.

What else is there left I should say
Should make mine Poem of the Day
And if the day has become bleak
Can also make it Poem of the Week
Have

On Quitting Poetrysoup As Soon As I Join

On quitting PoetrySoup as soon as I join

This morning I had
two comments on
two poems I posted
yesterday.

They were both from
the same person
and very nice comments
they were, indeed.

And yet, my first reaction
was not, as you might expect,
one of joy and happiness:
“Oooh! Someone liked
my poems!”

It was, instead, 
“Oh no - I’ve got to
quit Poetry Soup!
Strangers are reading my
