part of me says to fight, to fight
and get in that final word
when it would be so much easier to say fuck it all
and take a dive in the third
part of me says to stay the course
make a stand, make myself heard
but then i just want to shrink in on myself
and take a dive in the third
parts of me says that it will get better
probably the parts that don’t hurt
gonna wait till i get hit with a good one
and take a dive in the third
part of me says to be steadfast and strong
or was that just something i heard?
i’m gonna brace myself, drop my guard
and take a dive in the third

I rarely fight back with arguments anymore, saps my mental energy and turns me into someone I don’t wanna be. Until I snap again! 😅
Omggg, I totally get how exhausting it gets trying to always fight. Loved your poem!
Absolutely get this....at this point, I'm walking, saying fuck it. Great job
Just the fatigue of the fight really comes across.
This packs a punch...sorry not sorry haha! Seriously...I love your pieces when you delve into deeply entrenched emotional woes and do it with a no-holds-barred manner that still has eloquence. Well done, Brenton!
