Not An Option

A solace in feeling,
In knowing,
You won't give up.

There's a battle to be fought,
Won.
People to win over,
Opinions to conquer.

It looks bleak
Sad
Hopeless,
But I have faith
It will turn out
One way...
Or the other.

Fifty-fifty,
Odds still even,
The only reason I have
To continue.

My heart hurts,
But giving up is not
An option.
Not for me.
Never for me.
