Antidote to ‘don’t give up’, if that message also rubs you the wrong way some days
Give up
Give up hope
Give up effort
Give up life
Ask for death,
you won’t get it
Give up asking
Be alone,
they don’t get you
Give up help,

can’t afford it
Do you have friends?
I don’t think so
Give it up,
there’s no point
You are too dark
They can’t hold it
you are fucked
better face it
Give it up
Wander off
Disappear
makes no difference
Give it up

masking
parading
pretending
performing
Give up offering your tit
compassionate
gentle
warming and loving
Won’t get you shit
Give it up
Give it back
to yourself
to your heart
Go crusading on your own
Hug trees in the dark
Vanish
For a while
Give up,
for a time.
Give up.
