Give Up

Give up.

On your dreams,
on your hopes,
on a few people.

Give up.

Those lofty ideals,
those tall claims,
those puny little nagging voices in the back of your head.

It’s healthy. It’s the shower that your mind needs from time to time.
The natural cleansing process. Of unreal expectations and false futures.

Give up on yourself.

Because only when you do, you’ll know who you really are.
Sift through the debris, and you’ll strain out the good from the bad.

And to all those successful people who say that they have never given up on their dream, their aim, their goal, I say fuck you. Yes you have. Even if for a brief moment.

No one is that perseverant.

But give up. Don’t give in.

Don’t give in to opinions. To advice.
To people who shell out words with no weight.
Chances are, they’re taking their chances through you.

Don’t give in to talk. It is cheap.
Takes little energy.
And effort.

Give up and start again.
From a clean slate.
a new beginning.

If you have it in you to go out there and say I have lost, you have it in you to win. Because giving up is not losing.

Giving up is shutting those engines of.
Cooling you down before sparking yourself back to life.

Giving up is what you do,
before giving it your all.
