When Is Enough, Enough? | #FreeWrite [Quit]
All are wearing a mask and a costume;
No one wants to be known—I assume,
Inhale.. Exhale.. It's not yet your doom.
Why can't I just leave or flee;
Do I really need to see...
The temptress who broke my family?
This could not be his first, it might be his tenth;
So in the middle of two hundred people I went,
I don’t need to see his face—For I know his scent.
That one thing you promised I'll never experience as your queen,
Now, the truth you're hiding can't be unseen,
Why did I play your game—I know I'd never win.
My heart was crushed, I can't pretend I'm tough;
Quitting is not always a sign of defeat.
Sometimes you quit, so you can stand again on your feet.
“Sometimes deciding to quit something is the most remarkable bold and courageous thing you can do. If it’s not right for you, if it is sapping your spirit and not part of your ideal vision for your future, then it is something to quit and quit soon.”― Bernard Burchard

What a sad, yet beautiful poem! I could feel her anxiety and heartbreak. Maybe this will help to cheer both of us up. Tip!

I got sucked into this the minute I started reading it. So beautiful and tragic at the same time. Beautiful @michellpiala.
