You should quit.
You should stop.
You’re not getting what you want
so maybe it makes sense
to look somewhere else.

There’s a wall that you keep hitting
a whip you’re self-inflicting.
You could drop it.
The path you’re on
is not taking you
where you want to go.

They say the definition of insanity
is doing the same thing
over and over

Great people
will repeat actions
with slight variations
to yield new results.
Great people.
Smart people.

It’s not gonna work out for you.
You’ve seen so much evidence of it
and have had no counter evidence
to provide you hope.
Give up.
Get out of the limelight
and cool down in the shade.
