Poetry

I can’t

Say I‘m not afraid of the outcome would be a lie

But giving up isn’t easy for me this time, and the urge is strong

But I know the award is more outstanding than the pit I would fall in if I gave up and never knew how the outcome would end.

I’m tired of not knowing the outcome when all I have to do is keep going.

Maybe it will work out, and perhaps it won’t, but I’ll never know if I will keep giving up.
