POEM STARTER
Submitted by TheQuillPen
Write a poem about giving up.
It doesn’t have to be negative, it can be about giving up something or someone that’s been holding you back.
Nothing
In order to survive,
To keep myself alive,
I had to give something up,
And it had to be you.
For so long,
You made me feel weak
When I really was strong,
Not I’ve reached the peak
Of my patience.
You pushed me over the edge
And held me
Back.
Our relationship,
I knew it was dead to me
When you said that we
Were not right for each other,
And that it was all my
Fault.
I finally found the confidence,
The courage, and the willpower
I needed to
Give up on you.
We meant nothing
To
Each
Other.
The pain put me in the state
Of a volcano
Ready to erupt,
So I gave you up.
In order to keep on living,
I had to get rid of the one
Who held me back for so long.
I cut you out of my life,
Knowing I wasn’t wrong.
