Giving Up

Why is it that any time hope

Sparks and comes my way.

I begin to fall, landing on my

Knees, the world caving in.

I try and try but each time

I have a well deserved

Success, my triumph crumbles

Beneath me.

I'm left standing alone on my

Boulevard of broken dreams.

Fragments of my past shatter

Around me as I scream.

I delve further into my past

Wondering what it is I do

wrong each time to send

me spiralling down a 

Staircase of never ending disaster.

I reach out for help but grasp fear

And desolation in my heartache

As I struggle to find answers.

I pick myself back up ready to

Start again with more so called

everlasting self belief, but I know

It will be the same as before.

I will try with my utmost desires to

succeed my subconsious wars and

 Ideals but the voice in my head will

Still resonate the same answer.

I must learn to stop trying, to admit

defeat. I must put my hands up and

accept the gun that points my way.

And give up.
