#givingup poems on Hello Poetry

G A B R I E L A Sep 2018

There was once a girl who outshone the stars

the beauty within her was so great

eyes could go blind from the blaze.

So deep and profound

she changed the world with a few words

and radiated as brightly as the sun.

Then the fierce fire was extinguished

like a lightbulb going off.

She struggled to ignite her fire

and sparks flew

but no greatness begun.

She remembered the times

when she felt bigger than the universe

but mighty she felt no longer

she no longer outshone the stars.

Never

I'll tell you a story. On that night, the kind stories should never have to start with..I looked up at the moon and promised to never love. To never again soften eyes and whisper promises in a voice so low, the wind would have to lean in to hear. To never have to drown in bliss when she smiles. Never to colour lips with strawberries or paint kisses chocolate. To never again say yes, to the one thing I never thought I'd say never to. Noah_arkenswagg

Either way I die

I don’t want to be okay
And live my life another way
Not right now
Not today

I don’t want to get better
or get worse
But I keep complaining that it hurts
Where I am
I think I like the pain
I think I wanna stay

I’ll just be here sinking
Screaming
Running
Jumping
I remembered this better
Is it really any better?

You say you want me healed
But I think you like me this way
Or maybe you just want to run away
And leave my carcass in the rain
Hope I wash away
But I’ll just end up on the bay
floating

Like i’m stalking you
Following you
‘Cause you said you want me better
But I think I’d rather jump

it has more meaning than it sounds, interpret as you like

Giving Up / Growing Up

Closing your eyes
While feeling your skin burn
You've come to despise
The lessons you can't learn

Silently sinking
Through an infinite space
Closing your eyes
As you come face to face

With the water that drowns you
Seeps through your hair
Open your eyes
And you breathe it like air

giving up

when you give up on something
you start it
without finishing it

nothing bothers me
more than
an unfinished something

you can’t give up
on something
you haven’t started

therefore
I’m never going to
start
anything

that way
I’ll never
give up
and
nothing
will ever
be
unfinished

Look Forward Leave the Past

I may never knows what lies ahead of me,

but I had never giving in

even if my future holds it tight

not letting a sip to enter my mind,

I Stay ahead, Leave what past behind and kept look forward.

Someday maybe they will understand,

Someday maybe Some will remember,

Someday maybe Some will regret,

But its up to you,

Because its Your Life,

Because its Your Dream,

Because its Your Road,

Whether you wanna start the journey,

Whether you wanna take a break during the journey.

Or whether you just wanna end the journey,

Its Your Road,

Yours not anyone else

Not your lover,

Not your Love ones,

Nor Your Enemy,

Its Yours,

And Yours Alone

You are loved

You are loved

You are loved;
I am not.
I hope you understand what it is that you have got.

You are rich;
I am poor.
I have lost all that which I used to have,
When she walked out of the door.

If I could be in love,
You know that I would,
But I am without a love.

If I had a wish,
I would wish for a kiss.
Someone to fall in love with me is the main thing that I miss.

You have love;
I do not.
I will not be able to fall in love again,
Because I have given up.

Love is hard;
I am weak.
I’m a skeleton of the man that I could have been.

Without love,
I am a no-one.
I’m a piece of ash and you are a ball of sun.

You are love;
I am not.
I would dream of love, but to me love is simply…
Gone.

To The End

Games played at train stations
As we all just slide by
Our weathered eyes
Begin to crack.
We’ve dried up.
Become husks
As we drown in lassitude
“To the End!” we cried!

This is just one of those weird poems where I build it around a single word. But I think it also captures the feeling of just giving up and not noticing things anymore.
