I Quit
"I quit", I said - I wasn't done,
(and you could say I'd just begun)
but the job was hard, the day was long,
I didn't like it all along -
I'd rather go have fun.
"I quit", I said - to what I dreamed,
my love was great, but then it seemed,
I'd have to push, I'd have to strain,
I'd have to suffer gruesome pain -
I'll keep it unredeemed.
"I quit", I said - to those I sought,
they liked me too, but then I thought,
I'd have to fight, then make amends,
I'd have to work to keep my friends,
I think I'd rather not.
One thing, although, I didn't quit -
I'd always crave another hit,
and taking more than any could,
I woke up there, and understood,
that was my final one...
but when I said "I quit", they said,
"You're done."
