I Want to Quit, Kalaiselvi Arivalagan [classic books for 11 year olds .TXT] 📗

I want to quit

despite numerous attempts

to keep me sane and balanced!

Life still has ugly surprises

for me to encounter

and make my face tear-stained!

Alas! at heart I feel once again

to quit – to escape

from humiliation and shame!

Widened dark lanes stretch far

Making my life’s journey a tiring one!

Will all these dark days end

with a great escape?

Numbed brain cells

refuse once again to cooperate

with all mundane seconds of the day!

Never, never, never

Would I again wish

to quit away from troubles!!

Every stride I measure

tends to be pricky

and hurt my nerves...

Solidly I never wished

to be once again

encountering failures

all through my days...

Will not be sane

to pretend again

as if nothing happened...

Yet, dark circles under

my saggy eyes

linger for days....

making me feel once again

should I choose to quit

and lose myself a bit!!
