Give Up?


when is it approprate

to give up and give in

when can the breathing stop

and the struggles cease to be

must this tradegy continue

must there be a crash and burn

cannot this end here and now

with a whisper in the wind

not necissary

and certainly not missed

when is it right

to give up

because this needs to stop

this heartache and headache

this car crash in slow motion

everything just needs to...

STOP

16 year old poet, presenting. I don't know how often I'll write, or what I'll write about, or if I'll write. Because sometimes I'm there, sometimes I'm not. The username is from an anime/manga because sometimes we need to be a little childish. Plus, you can thank KID for getting me into poetry. I don't know what else to say? Hello. It's nice to meet you. How's the weather? (Yes, my icon is a bit of a joke. Hope it makes you smile.)
