Don't Give Up Poem

Bitterness soaks in the bath

I watch bubbles pop here

My dredge of lost causes

Willow weeps and salty trails

Seeing losses like broken glass

Nothing feels good since when?

Don't force me to smile

Im fed up and in pain

I took hits left and right

Better not tread on my stalk

Im not a fake plastic person

I cry and I feel real emotions

My worst is the growling

I almost died this year

Instead I rise from the ashes

You can't keep me down

Im not a turtle, I dont hide

See these scars? Their a road map.

Ring a bell. Clap for attention.

See? We got a problem here.

If you can't smother me thats good

Im a fire that can't be put out

I stand tall with my wings unfurled

I breathe rainbows and stars

I am not Noble but I'll do

I was a lost cause in darkness

But it is there I found you

That voice of reckoning

You will not die it said

And it made me fight back

So here I am anew something strange

If my voice trembles I will still speak

If my tears fall I will still stand

I am not useless or weak

I am a fighter with both sides

It's not all or nothing

Black or white

Life is not extremes

I know the secret its go

Let not the troubles break you

Even in the fall you can rise

If I were tequila, line me in salt

I can dance, sing and draw!

Im not a candy ass but a sass

I got a heart and two eyes

If this isn't war then fine I digress

Im not down, im in wait mode

This will get better you know

Don't dream dark endings

Instead think of the fighter, thats me!
