Giving up
Too old to care
The more you strive
The less you’re there
Looking back
On better days
Looking back
See through the haze
A younger man
You used to be
A spirit wild
So bold and free
Nothing ever
Stopped you then
Then it changed
You don’t know when
It seems you’ve felt
This way for years
And now you’re facing
All those fears
Not vital now
An afterthought
The harshest rule
That life has taught
No need to try
No need to fight
Just fade away
Into the night
©The Beginning At Last
Never give up
It’s not who you are
It may not be as easy
As wishing on stars
Your wild spirit
It’s still inside
You’ll forever wow me
With your brilliant mind
Meeting you
Was so unexpected
If I ever stopped writing
I would’ve regretted it
You motivate me
You inspire others
Never an afterthought
To some, you’re a brother
A warrior, a fighter
You’ll never fade away
An amazing writer
For all the days
So pick up your boots
Dust off your knees
Words never could express
How much you mean to me ❤️
Forever and ever
Yes it’s true
Hold your head high
And we’ll see this through
Not everyone chooses to rage against the dying of the light. A poem of perspective.
