I'll not quit.....

Walking on the beach,

feeling the cool sand rubbing against my feet.

The sky's colour is peach,

where the sun's rays and ocean waters meet.

 

No one's around,

I am alone

To move abound

with the freedom I own.

 

Wanting something different,

something like an adventure.

Something now or,

probably in the future.

 

I use to think,

bored, tired, stressed I am,

I need relief from life's mayhem.

But now I know, it'll never stop,

Now I know, it'll never quit.

The only thing for I opt,

Is that I've had enough of it.

 

My brain's tired,

it needs some rest.

But I won't stop,

because I'll continue giving my best.

 

And then came the end to the sandy shore,

which had a unique bend,

making it beautiful more and more.

 

Life goes on,

I thought to myself.

It just depends on,

How in it you enjoy yourself.
