Best Giving Up Poems

Be honest
this isn't going anywhere
you've tried
I've tried
we've given it everything we've got.

If we had the answer
at our fingertips
I'm sure you would agree
things would be so different.

but no

we just keep going 
round and round
our frustration turns
to bitterness.

Stop now

Let's call it a day
I think that would be...

(Verse 1)
There’s an aching in my back
An my knees are buckling in
My body’s hurt n bruised
friends r’ say ‘n take a step back ‘n relax

(Bridge)
got so much on my mind  
faster and faster I here myself say
I cant give up when I’m half way...

You said -
Give and I'll be given back
And I gave
And I became empty
And deserted
I promised
Not to feel for your world
Never again

The other day
I attended the funeral of the wife
Of an old friend
I saw my friend sitting by the coffin
Standing behind
I heard him whispring
Honey
Tomorrow
In the morning
You...

There's no way I'm giving up on you

We've been together-seems like forever
it's been sublime spending my life with you

In our existence- there is a distance
There's no way I'm giving up on you
'Cause I still love you!

I can't forget- the way you left
there was no life...

cant do this anymore 
knees to weak to stand 
waiting for that bit of adrenalin so i can get back on my feet 
my stress level is in the danger zone 
depression is controlling my life
where in my drawer i keep a knife 
always knowing...

We hired the neighbor kid
to put it all on eBay. He started
with the train-set you bought me on a whim, 
Santa Fe, like the locomotive that pulled me
through Navajo country 40 years ago.
Now, this HO gathers dust, the cobwebs
aren’t to scale. Next we’ll sell
that beer...

Beyond my mind
I am looking to seek
A glimpse of my future
Just a quick peek
Just so I know
It will all be ok
So I can get on 
And continue my day

I cannot see anything
Just a blank space
Oh, and you, your smile
On your beautiful face
But what lies behind
Your...

When you feel like giving up
When you feel like you have 
Had enough.
When You’re feeling depressed, and you feel
Like you have nowhere to go.
Feeling lonely and no one understands
Let’s take a walk while God holds your
Hand. I know what it's like...

On giving up heroin 

and all night long I danced with the crooked hand of death
and the crooked hand of death danced with me back,

one, two, three times a day, I took the meds and sweated blood
then after a million years in a tunnel (not...

Someone Felt Like Giving Up!

I know someone who wanted to give up.
Things in life began to “trip him up.”

After much thought and contemplation.
He really offered no real explanation.

He felt like his life was at a “dead end road.”
He said he couldn’t continue 
with a heavy...

I'VE BEEN HELD BACK
TIED TO THE REINS OF SELF PITTY
LOOKING BACK AT MY LIFE NOW
I KNOW IT WAS NEVER PRETTY
IT CROSSES MY MIND
FROM TIME TO TIME
NEVER THOUGHT IT COULD BE REWOUND
THIS PATH OF MINE
MEMORIES FILLED WITH PAIN
CAUSED BY SELFISH NEGLECTS
AND NOW IT RAINS
JUST OUT OF...

There is a pain in my heart,
feels like someone's been 
throwing darts. 

Yet another waking moment
feeling sad seems like every 
things going bad.

Wanting to pull away, 
all I want is my getaway.
I just can't clear my mind,
it feels like I'm always
two steps behind. 

I'm finding...

When you look at your reflection in a mirror, what do you see?
I see a failure, and that failure is me.

I feel like I’m stuck yet I pace up and down.
My face is etched with a worrying frown.

The problem is I tend to fester and...

The rainbow comes after the storm they say
But my storms are ever lasting 
And my rainbows short-lived.
I don't want to know how much I mean to the world,
When the world means nothing to me.
This constant stagnation of life is tiring
And I have waited long enough
To...
