There is a difference
between depression and hopelessness.
There is a gulf between
loneliness and abandonment.
There is no disagreement
between rationality and knowing it is time to give up.
Giving up is not
cowardice;
Giving in is not
treacherous; it is a desolate reality.
When everything has
broken, crumbled, and given out, so does the light,
the meaning, the purpose behind perseverance.
That isn’t a call for
medication or mediation; it isn’t a plea for validation;
it is an indication of desperation with nowhere to turn and no way to stop.
