Let Go or Give Up?

Letting go is a sort of defense mechanism in the so called "moving on".

You make people believe that you've stopped hoping. You show this one special person that you can survive without him.. may it be avenging your bruised ego or just merely giving both of you an easier way out.. if spontaneous. In letting go, you seek for reasons that curtail the battle of the mind and the heart.. exigent realities concerning what's right and what's wrong.

Letting go is a mask.. an identity unknown of its truest intentions.. an art of deception. You let go of memories.. of things.. of people.. but you never really let go of the truth.

Giving up is surely not a defense mechanism since you;ve already surrendered your defenses. You don't look for reasons. They come to you. It doesn't amend the battle and let that alone be a reason.

You give up on memories.. on things.. on people..

You give up the truth.
