Giving up would be

So easy, I can feel it,

Sneaking up behind,

But I have a strong message

For that life stealing demon

I do not back down, nor quit,

So take your torment away

And do not trouble me, mine,

Or you are surely

Bound to see this tigress break

The bars that hold me

From raging wild totally

Unleashed with power to shake your world

I am not one to give up
You go your way or have no way left.

This follows syllable counts some ways, but it would be termed free verse by most experts. It is an example of how emotion, defiance, can be brought into forceful expression in a poem.

Think of a struggle in life, refusing defeat, and write what comes. Create a storm of feeling on the page.
