Suicide is the ultimate form of giving up. In 2001 while watching the movie :CAST AWAY” this poem just came to me. I’m posting here, right now for givingup It goes like this:
What if I gave up today
and tomorrow I won the lottery?
What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I met the woman of my dreams?
What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I started living my dreams?
What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I figured out how to be successful?
What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I came to know I deserved what I want?
What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I learned that my insanity had meaning?
What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I felt peace of mind?
What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I could fit in the clothes I used to?
What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I found out that God had a plan for me?
What if I gave up today
And tomorrow Nothing happened?
If I give up today
Tomorrow will never come.
I don’t think I’ll give up
JUST FOR TODAY

this is perfect… love this very much.
My favorite mantra is “happiness is just around the corner” it keeps me going. My other mantra is “whats the point?” that one I am trying to forget. oh and then there is… “never has been, never will be” I say this when my dreams are squashed again.
Now I have this….thank you for sharing !
Peace and good luck with your message of hope
“What if I gave up today
and tomorrow I won the lottery?”
This is why the lotto exists. False hope to distract people from the corruption of the trickle down system. Give the people false hope they could make it when they can’t.
“What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I met the woman of my dreams?”
Ain’t no such thing as Miss Right – Big L
“What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I started living my dreams
Not if your dream is to die
“What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I figured out how to be successful?”
Subjective. You’ll be successful in the 5th dimension.
“What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I came to know I deserved what I want?”
There’s a difference between deserving and receiving. In my existence those who do deserve don’t receive and those who don’t deserve do receive
“What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I learned that my insanity had meaning?”
Insanity doesn’t exist it’s just a control method of the people’s thoughts.
“What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I felt peace of mind?”
You can’t find any greater peace than to stop breathing
“What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I could fit in the clothes I used to?”
That would still take dedication you had to have yesterday
“What if I gave up today
And tomorrow I found out that God had a plan for me?”
If a so called God had a plan for you then you wouldn’t be able to alter it and thus giving up would be part of the plan
“What if I gave up today
And tomorrow Nothing happened?”
Nothing will happen if you give up today
“If I give up today
Tomorrow will never come”
That’s the point
“I don’t think I’ll give up
JUST FOR TODAY”
Not today. Maybe tomorrow.
Heyyyyyyy-that was quite apropos..you rock,A
Very nice.
