Description
I will not give up.Though it slay me, and I die
My breath may fail me, still I'll try.
I've lived through all my darkness
And come through to the light
Now I've seen into your blackness
And it has prodded me to fight
Knowing only love is strong enough
To bring you through this night.
Still,
I will not give up
Though it slay me, and I die
My eyes may fail me, still I'll try
I've heeded no greater call
Than this struggle so Divine
I've seen you live, watched you fall,
And it somehow killed me inside
But you reached out a broken hand,
And willing, I took it in mine
So...
I will not give up
Though it slay me and I die
My strength may fail me, still I'll try
It's hard to not be guarded
When the world can be so cruel
And barely have I started
To show you love that's true
And no matter what life's taught you
I won't quit until I'm through
And
I will not give up
Though it slay me and I die
My spirit, it may fail me, still, I'll try
So I'll tear down every wall
Until my fingers bleed
And even if you fall
I promise to never leave
Though we're our own worst enemies
Our friendship will never die
So
I will not give up
Though it slay me and I die
My humanity may fail me, still I'll try
It was His love for you
That brought you to my mind
And God's grace will bring you through
And I'm sorry I'v emade you cry
But I've seen your journey from death to life
And that's the reason why
I'll never give up
Though God slay me and I die
My fragile heart may fail me
Still, for you, I'll try.

I could see this working as a song too, if sung right. But it certainly is a pretty good poem
Not trying to snoop, but i have to ask... how come it applies to your parrot?

Great work here. Certain parts of this kinda hit home with me right now, especially the first stanza:
I will not give up.
Though it slay me, and I die
My breath may fail me, still I'll try.
That's basically my life right now, hahaha... Anyways, I love it, good work!
