give up

it may be time to quit some time...
when the odds against you are stacked...
when the road before you is littered with obstacles,
when there is no end in sight and you want to give up...
you should...

if you've fought for something so hard it hurts,
if you've found yourself out of breath and unable
to continue...you may just be nearing the point of
no return; if you feel it's time to give up...
you should...

life crumbles all around you, and gives you
no other options...boulders fall and you are fearful,
it seems like even the wrath of God will spark upon
thee should you continue, perhaps it's time to ask
yourself if it's time to give up...maybe,
you should...

see if this were any other situation, you'd probably
keep going, if things were going better and you only
had a little bit of resistance, you might keep going,
when you realize that even against all you believe in,
it might just be best to give up...
you should...

you should...give up on giving up...fight for your cause,
stand up for your beliefs, free yourself of bonds...
you should...
