i won't wait. . .
i may love pain
but i'm only human
i can only take so much
till i can't take anymore

i won't bend. . .
i may have mastered
the art of swaying,
going with whatever
direction the wind blows
and then i'd break

i won't change. . .
i have stretched
as far as my enduring
body would allow
and then i would crack

i will stop. . .
i have gone farther
than i thought i could,
have met resistance
at every turn
ignored your pleas
been blind to your
blatant opposition
you are indeed immovable

i will let go. . .
with bloodied hands
i have held on
but you have constantly
darted away from me
the strain is beginning
to be too much for me

i will walk away. . .
not because i want to
but because you need to
be away from me
as far away as i could possiby let you

i will quit. . .
because this time
it's the only thing
left for me to do

you have won dear,
just this once, i'll admit defeat
