So Weary... Is it time to give up?

By ToxicLove

My Agreement...

I asked God for Strength and left it in his hands...
I promised to build no more walls, open my heart and trust once again...

To once more have faith and believe in Love...
I agreed not to give in, when I grew weary and was ready to give up...

I swore to trust in myself and all that I am and have to give...
To appreciate the past ~ but make the future where I live...


I cross my heart and swear with everything that I am, that I am doing the best that I can every moment of every day...

~giving all of me...
~trusting in and having faith...
~having patience and understanding...
~caring, concern and loving...
~being a friend...
~always giving...
~never asking more of anyone than I know that they are capable of giving...
~being thankful for each and every moment that they can give...


but the selfish part of me cannot help but wonder when is it my turn?

the selfish part of me doesn't know how to handle the disappointment time after time after time...

I feel like I am breaking my agreement

To once more have faith and believe in Love...
I agreed not to give in, when I grew weary and was ready to give up...


because I am growing weary and I want to give in...

...I AM SO EXHAUSTED, I FEEL I HAVE GIVEN 100% with 0% IN RETURN...

    You know, this is the first poem I've had the pleasure of reading in terms of your work. You bled life and emotion into this piece just as you have with your three daughters. Even though time and time again, you find yourself falling two steps backwards, despite your efforts to progress forward, know that you'll have three daughters to lean on, if that helps any. You've shown me allot of what type of person you really are through this piece, "caring, concern and loving..." the traits and an amazing mother, "having patients and understanding" after all as a mother, you would have to have developed this to cope with your daughters, I know because I have a mom to. Please don't give in despite the seemingly receding light at the end of the tunnel, in your efforts to give 100% and receive 0 in return, you?re probably receiving 10 fold by helping someone unknowingly that feels the same way. Thank you so much for sharing and momma, you're appreciated =)
