Don’t Give Up!

Accidental Poet



 

There’s a road that leads to nowhere

But you take it anyway

You don’t think about where you’ll end up

Just the here and now today

 

You live by laughs

And making up excuses

Pay no attention to addiction

And who it seduces

 

Growing up is unique for everyone

But we all end up on down the road

How you survive life

Depends on your life’s code

 

Sooner or later

You’ll see the writing on the wall

Your friends all dying one by one

Your name next on the list to call

 

The time to get real is now

Before it’s too late

Cause running out of time

Is no time to wait

 

If you fall down, get up

Just keep on trying

Wipe away the tears

You say you’re not crying

 

Your future waits with a smile

You’ll be glad to see

Your face in the mirror

The person you want to be

 

You can be the hero to your younger self

With self-love in your morning cup

Repeat over and over

Don’t give up!

 

Don’t give up!

Don’t give up!

Don’t give up!

Just keep trying!

Don’t give up!

Don’t give up!

Don’t give up!

      This is what I needed to hear especially if you'll remember my poem from yesterday. This is really good advice!! Christina

        As I mentioned in the author comment, the song by Paul McCartney and Wings in the video was the inspiration about recovering from addictions. But it can also conform to recovering from depression of various sources. I hope you've found new strength and smiles Christina. Thanks for the read. 😉

          You can't let anyone, or anything take your power away. Thank you spilleronsheet for reading and your compliment. 😀

        • Jeannie

          Love this. There were so many times I felt like giving up. Suffering from bipolar depression, I contemplated giving up, in the worst way. Somehow I pulled myself out of that black hole and kept on trying and didn't give up.

            Congratulations Jeannie. Many don't have the fight that you did. And it takes more than tough guts to overcome the demons that haunt a person. I myself survived my own demon's onslaught of guilt from many years of growing up. There's a song by Gary Alan called, "Learning to live With Me" that puts a lot into perspective. Thanks for reading and your story. 😉
