DON'T GIVE UP
By Richard Schroeder, Army
Writing Type: Poem
Drifting in and out
of a medicated fog,
Don’t give up.
Paralyzed
in body
in mind
in spirit,
Don’t give up.
Torn between
heaven and hell
life and death
sanity and insanity,
Don’t give up.
Afraid
of living
of dying,
Don’t give up.
Wavering between
hope and
hopelessness,
Don’t give up.
An angel came to my side,
a heavenly angel
sent to comfort me
to fetch me from my despair,
Don’t give up.
Learned to fight
learned to win
never accept defeat,
Won’t give up.
Thank the Lord
for sending the angels.
There is life worth living
after personal tragedy,
Won’t give up.
