I Give Up

February 20, 2008 by

I’m done
I have no answers
The future looks different than it did back then
and I do not understand
I do not understand why giving up
and letting go
is the only way
I do not understand a promise being unfulfilled
I do not know how many times I must
get in the ring for this one fight
I do not love that a calling demands sacrifice
I do not love that it is not a short term assignment
I would like an easy life
I would like to do it all
to have it all
I would like an out
But I owe more than I am owed
My part can not be sung by someone else
I give up
