Don't Wake Up

When is it time to give up? Is it after countless failures or numerous disappointments? Do we give up after our hopes have been crushed and our dreams have been shot? When is it time to lay down and forget the world? Sometimes life feels like it rushes around you while you're standing still. The world revolves around you for that one instant until you wake up and realize it's time to try again. We get back up and push forward all in an effort to try again. But when is it time to give up? The goals we once had so brightly lit in our minds fade into abandoned signs along with the light of our dreams. Perhaps a way to overcome this need for a break is to simply nap, but what happens when you don't want to wake up? What happens when we have pushed too hard for too long and we need to give up? What happens when we just don't wake up?
