Giving Up

I keep giving up on myself.
It’s frustrating to try and fail and
Try and fail… over and over.
There are days I’m convinced
It’s not even worth trying, so
I fail before I begin.
I fall over my own obstacles,
Tripping on the same traps that
Haunt my feet every day.
I think, “Will the effort ever end?
Will my stubborn self ever bend?”
I keep giving up on myself, and
Hoping that somehow,
Even though I give up, He won’t.
