Giving Up

When things around you are getting tough,
And the words you find just aren't enough,
You don't know whats wrong, or what to say,
All you know is things aren't going your way,
You spend all day sitting, deep in thought,
Snapping so easily, for temper is short,
People ask whats up with you now,
You want to tell them, but don't even know how,
Don't know where to start, where to begin,
It's eating away at you, festering within,
You're not acting yourself, but maybe thats a lie,
This is the you that wants to curl up and die,
To give up and surrender, an easy depart,
Rather than deal with matters of the heart,
But despite all these words, you're no nearer the key,
All that you know is that it's not good being me,
So forgive me if I wasn't around to be seen,
Or not as chirpy as I've previously been,
Somethings are going on, that are hard to describe,
The answers of which I can't begin to provide,
Part of life is learning how to move on,
Taking that first step, I have to be strong,
Maybe I'm cheating, taking the easy way out,
Closing the curtains with a whimper instead of a shout,
So goodbye to you all, please don't take it personally,
This is something I had to do, and I hope you can see.
