Knowing when

So as I have realized, things get easier when you know when to quit, to give up. I've also learned poetry can be like life. In an attempt to write something I feel, I started a new poem. A few keystrokes later I had a start. I sat and looked at what was now on the page. I suddenly realized that I had finished in just a few lines. All I wanted to say was written. I share those words with you now:

Hope is gone
Dream has shattered
Life's meaning lost

Just like that I was done. Nothing left to say. Moral of the story, Life continues...but my hopes, dreams, meaning ends here, now.

I am too stupid to realize the first line
I am in reality with the second line
The third line is the so-sad truth

Give me a break, it is Saturday night and I need emotional support.

Sometimes the shortest poems can be the stongest. Sometimes letting go is the only way, but that isn't neccesarily a bad thing. I'm not going to sit here and tell you that all of lifes meaning will return, because there are somethings that are lost forever, but you can rebuild meaning, somthing different. I hope you find what you're looking for. Awsome poem.

hope is never gone - just sometime's buried or behind us
dreams only shatter in the mind's eye - new dreams will be born
life's meaning is the biggest mystery of all - not lost, but unnoticed

life is a battle. if you give up, life wins. there are no answers in death. life is a race - you can't crash your car into the wall just because you're in last place. everybody has a purpose. it's your job to find out what that purpose is and to let it fluorish.

i don't know what happened to you to make you feel this way, but a lot of us are in the same boat, in the same type of situation, and we realize and identify what you're going through.

Thanks for the comments ya'll. Just to make it clear, I have no intention of "ending it" or the ultimate self harm. Was in a bad place and someone has pulled me out a little by chance. Not sure how it's going to work out, but I have some hope. A dream was shattered, and I still haven't found the meaning, but I now have some hope.

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
