In Quitting

Brief yet complex, hopefully these poems speak for themselves

In quitting,

            One lays one’s power down

            To weakness

The power exists

But the weak

            Have lost recognition

So this caught my eye… probably because it could be debated. Perhaps one could simply get frustrated and quit, not willing to try or recognize their own strength to overcome. But maybe their are times when quitting is the best thing for the soul… hmmmm 😊 Nice write full of questions!

[Brad Dehler]

Thank you Susan! Precisely. This is the fulcrum, the indecisive middle between that time. Before the label of champ or quitter or stubborn or wise

[Ana B.]

I like the message of this writing. Power, weakness, it is a never ending wheel that spins and give you one thing, than the other…Powerful are the words we choose to let loose :)))

[Brad Dehler]

Absolutely. Its a claim to juxtapose how really close to victory is defeat, quitting to trying & vice versa

[Julie McCarthy (juliesp..]

I don’t like to quit
I think sometimes though we need to for our own sanity though if it becomes a health hazard or too much
Great write !

[Ranger Kessel]

A lot said in the words Brad. To give-in, to give-up. Is hard to do. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.
