let's not call it “giving up”
maybe “moratorium” is better
i’ve never been one
to call myself a quitter

(but i’ve never been one
to call myself lots of things)

i spoke to you often
about the power of a word
about finding just the right fit
about agonizing over it

(not that you understood
but i understood that)

it seems so final
not just a drop of the ball
but an intentional release
a saying, “i was never
enough,”

(and a thinking about
the truth behind it)

let's neither call it “giving up”
nor embrace the finality of the words
let's give it another Name

No, you were and are enough. Never EVER consider that you were/are not enough. Your words have power, they may not have hit the correct audience this time, but they will in the future. *hugs*

Aw thank you :) for what it's worth, this isn't a sacrifice entry even if it can come across that way. I've been pretty happy with what I've been doing this go-round, even if it stops here.
