The Effervesence of My Mind

I Won't Give Up

The journey has felt so long, and been so tough...but I won't give up

Each step I take, each breath I take...seems never ending

I push so hard, and I strive for the greatest and still...I won't give up

I feel hopeless, like a failure, as if nothing I aspire will manifest

I work so hard, I give my best yet...I won't give up

Each day I rise I try to keep my head to the skies as I continue to push

onward

Yet the tears fill my eyes as I try to hard to....not....give up

I've come a very long way, I am not who I used to be but yet there is still

so much work to do

I bow before my Creator asking that my strength be made greater as

I strive for my dreams and am determined to not give up

I beg myself to not shut down, I pray that my feet always land on solid ground

I hold onto hope, courage and determination as I arise to the occasion

Each moment is like a millisecond in time that is now lost and passed behind

But I can't look back because nothing can be undone as I move forward to the sun

Striving for what my heart craves but feeling like a slave to society as I

Struggle to be me...be free...not what society thinks I should be, wants me to be...

threathening to overthrow and conform me....I won't give up

The battle is not won, it is only just begun though the journey does not end I feel and end

before it begain but I have to keep pressing on because no one can give me what I want

So...I struggle to breathe as  I dust off my knees and carry on my way because....

I won't give up!!
