Before You Give Up 

To give up is like saying yes to what others claim about you,
Like surrendering in a battle meant for two.
It’s turning your back on questions life is waiting to ask,
And telling yourself it’s over—too weary for the task.

Why choose a path that deepens your pain?
Why quit just because things feel insane?
Why refuse the help you need the most,
And let fear and doubt become your host?

Before you give up, remember how far you’ve come,
The late nights, hard work, and what you’ve overcome.
Before you give up, think of those who still believe,
And all the silent victories you’ve managed to achieve.

Ask yourself: is it really okay to let go of your dreams?
To bury your hopes and silence your screams?
Do your efforts deserve to be erased like this—
All the goals you had, all the chances you’ll miss?

If you could go back, would you still walk away?
If given support, would you choose to stay?
Would it matter if others had seen your worth?
Or if you’d believed in yourself since birth?

Chances are, you’d rise if you chose to fight,
You’d shine brighter if you stepped into the light.
You’d break the walls if you trusted the climb,
You’d do the impossible, one step at a time.

Don’t hold back when your heart still cares,
Don’t let voices tell you you’re unprepared.
Turn away from the noise and find what is true—
Let the strength inside come breaking through.

Decide first what truly matters to you,
Decide without fear, without needing a cue.
Think of the good that could still unfold,
Before you say it’s over—before you let go cold.
