Never give up; My hands are shaking, bruises mark them My legs are numb, numb with no feeling My wet cheeks feel like I can swim in them My eyes cry more tears then the sea Yet I tell myself “Never give up”. A hand swings, like a bird for prey It collides with my pale skin, SMACK! More, more come down like rain to the ground Smack! Crash! Then they stop and the doors open Then they close ‘Never give up’ I whisper. Time flies slowly, like blood dripping from a wound Slowly. Time is never on my side. Then again, nothing is. I have no shoulder to cry on, I do not have the feeling of love in my heart. I have no friends, But still, I tell myself to go on, With only the words ; “Never give up”.
