Giving up

By HermitX

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Why do you give up? A simple little question for the genius. You talk it down, You insult it at every turn But what have you done for it? You see it for what it is And yet you turn your back on it. All you can do is write, Complain and moan over something you control? Tell me why do you give up? Actions louder than words we all know, So what do you do? It abuses you without remorse. You flee in hopes of sanctuary. Where are you going? Why do you give up? Written November 7th, 2001 © on Nov 06 2001 03:37 PM PST   0 • 9
