Giving Up. Poem by Malaika Aman

They tell me to try try again.

Never loose hope.

But who are they to talk.

Are they living alone?


Seems like a great time.

To just give up.

But afraid of their comments.

As they'll stare with eyes of stone.


I look at my surroundings.

As the wind swishes by.

Now im top of the world.

Going somwhere unknown.


I just take one step.

To my new life.

No longer afraid of what if.

As I will be free to roam.


I keep falling down.

Cutting through my life.

As I feel the cold touch of death.

At last free from the gnawn.
