I GIVE UP!
by Joan SerratelliCannot do this anymore
I've tried
I've failed
I just cannot do this anymore
The demons have taken over
and they're not about to give up
my life now belongs
to them, not me
I've given up any hope
I just cannot do this anymore
my life is filled with pain
I've tried
I've failed
I've given up and in
Pain is the demon
that defines my life
Twenty four hours a day
I can't fight
a fight I will lose
so there's only one thing
left to do
There can be no joy
in a life filled
with so much pain
I GIVE UP! 07/19/2006 Author's Note: There's really nothing I can add.
