I quit
willy knight Jul 2010
I quit, I quit, I just plain quit
I try to help & i get yelled at
ignored
cussed at.
I quit, I quit, I just plain quit
they say that they send the white coats after me
with straight jackets,
pills,
& needles.
I quit, I quit, I just plain quit
Its not worth it in the end
it comes with grief,
mistrust,
misery,
& heartache.
I quit, I quit, i just plain quit
I know how it feels to hold onto it,
to hide it,
to ignore it,
to dismiss it.
I quit, I quit, I just plain quit
I am at my limits,
the pains to much,
the yelling is to much,
the heartache is to much.
I quit, I quit, I just plain quit
so white coats come, come with your pills,
come with your straight jackets,
come with your therapy,
come with your needles.
I quit, I quit, I just plain quit
so come and get me already

I quit
I quit this mediocrity called Life
This existence filled with paradoxes
This life which lacks any form of happiness
These days that are filled with suffering

I quit
I quit this depression that eats me
This sadness that has long plagued me
This hatred that drives my every day
This angst that hovers over my head

I quit
I quit this stupid blaming game
Where I never took an ounce of responsibility
Where I hide behind flawed reasoning
Where I let my flowery tongue do my ***** work

I quit
I quit this pursuit of temporary happiness
Where I let Chance give or take control of me
Where I blindly wait for fruitless promises
Where I let this unfair Life give me anxieties

I QUIT
I QUIT THIS STUPID GAME
I QUIT FROM EVERYTHING THAT CONTROLS ME
From now on I am master of my fate
I am the captain of my ship
I alone pursue what I want
and not let anything come by chance
I will take responsibility for my actions
and take all the blame for my iniquities
I will not let anxiety take hold of me
and free my mind from all negativity
I will give up the pursuit of false joy
and in exchange pursue true wisdom
That this life is not as complicated
as what I thought it was.
That this life is just a simple struggle
and will only yield to those who are strong
Strong in mind and heart
Those willing to recognize and accept all weaknesses
and to change and convert them to strength

Whoever sits upon Heaven's Throne
Give me the courage to resign from this "Life"
and give me the strength and will
To start the change that I always wanted in me
Been thinking deeply these past few days.
I found myself at a crossroad in Life
I always thought of "quitting"
just be free from all of this madness

Now I found a new resolve to pursue my dreams
The real dreams that always hid behind the fallacies
I'm ready now and this time..

...
I won't quit.

Why we Quit?
JP Nov 2017
We quit the love
We quit the spouse
We quit project
We quit our ambition
Etc...

a little awareness,
the cause of quitting love is...Suddenly we feel the love doesn't have meaning,
other changed after confirmation of love. The pattern of his/her behaviour is just acting and covering up of bad habits.

Character can be changed but habits, it always hide in deep and jump out in future without any reasoning... Here quitting such relationship can look odd for others why? It's Coz they can't see it but we know why we quit

The family belong to women but still ruled by men to some extent of security. When he shows his colour of characters. Such, you never like due to your ideology and
By slowly changing you
You found
You loosing your personality and particularly compromise
It means, you pushing yourself for future by adjusting the present
but
compromise is a temporary factor.. Once withdrawn it may end to quit such relationship..

I experienced project it start like adventure and slowly looses its interesting and life moves..
After few years,
as if
We feel, we are studying in the same class.. We quit Coz it's like dying

Our ambition born out of hobbies and some related facts, but most of time we may not know why we liked it Coz in the middle of our journey we feel we are not the one who chose this path.. We feel betrayed. We want to quit but
People say why you quit? Why we wasted our life by quitting??

Now the reasons for quitting!!
we believed in ourself when we quit. We strongly felt
we deserve more than the present. We respect the soul in us.. Even, world spit on us and label as failures.
We are not worried
Why?
We know the true meaning of failures

In primitive world, when you miss to hit your food
you go hungry.
You and your family may skip food for few days. So miss means failure to provide food to family
Now
The civilize world can give you ample of opportunity and surrounded by friends and relatives and failure are consider as success to change direction.
Importantly
Quitting is nothing but a part of ideology of the quitter..
