A destiny call
I reached an end. Make do
I touched a silhouette. Opened view
Dreams of white picket fences overdue
It's time, I now give up
Hard work brought me here
I wait patiently every year
Success! At last a final tear
It's time I now give up
Resistance, proved a suitable defense
Arms weak, fall limp, need rest
A smile, grin. A familiar pretense
It's time, I now give up
Seek out my long term goal
In my purpose, lies my hidden soul
If you follow, avoid many dark deep holes
It's time, I now give up
About this poem
A very dark moment in my life
