Stop

Topic: dedicatedpoems

Sometimes I think I should just give up,
Stop waiting for something good to happen,
Because nothing good is going to come.
They say “Good things come to those who wait”.
Well.
I’ve waited sixteen years.
I’m getting a little impatient.
A little tired.
Tired of all the hurt,
The tears,
The apologies,
The guilt.
I’m just so tired.
I think I should just give up.
Stop laughing.
Stop smiling.
Stop writing.
Stop thinking.
Stop breathing.
No more waiting.
No more wanting.
No more.
But I can’t stop, because I know if I do,
I really will be letting you down.
You are the reason I keep going,
Keep laughing,
Keep smiling,
Keep writing.
You told me to keep writing, don’t dare stop.
Tell me why.
Why do you want me to keep writing?
Why?
You won’t let me give up.
You won’t let me stop;
But why?
Why make me keep going?
Why continue the hurt, the pain, the tears?
You’re the first person I turn to when I hurt.
Aren’t you tired of me yet?
Aren’t you tired?
I am.
But I can’t stop.
I’ll keep going,
Just for you.
No stopping.
Not yet.
Just for you.

wow, I can't believe nobody's commented on this yet. One of the best I've seen on YPDC.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
