On Giving-up
Trembling in darkness,
you seek a ray of light.
At brink of dawn you close your eyes,
as you die out of fright.
Giving up is easy,
Giving up is fun.
Giving up seems alright,
when there are big battles to be won.
Tossing between happiness and sorrow,
you go back for more,
You work hard for what you don’t need,
treating life a chore.
When the ship of life becomes a lifeboat,
you live day by day just to stay afloat
Not thinking about what you want
meaninglessness is what you flaunt.
You can change this now,
you can be everything,
there is no play of “luck”,
everyone can be the king!
