WHAT I TALK ABOUT

I give up

I talk about my dreams, I talk about hope

Thoughts of tomorrow that might never be

Working so hard and failing so bad

Fighting strong and losing ground

Driving smooth and crushing…boom!

About diving cool but drowning in the pool

That, I talk about.

About laying down still and silent

In the oblivion of doom, consigned to gloom

In four edged casket, kicked the bucket

Ice cold, eyes closed

Six feet deep…dead asleep!

I talk about what I sooner will be

Yet, I talk about what I already am

When I throw in the towel

And sadly say a confession

“I give up! I quit”
