I try

 And I **try**

      And I **try**

           And I **try**

My effort stretched for miles

If laid out in a line.

Higher than high

My goals in the sky

I did everything I could

To bring them to life

I tried. I really did.

The late nights

    Little sleep

            Lost track of **time**

                     Forgot to eat

I pushed myself so far

Past my limit

I made myself die.

My eyes sigh

   My heart **cries** 

What more could I have done?

What more could I still do?

Everything I worked for…

_I will never achieve. _

To my younger self,

I apologize

To my future self,

Why?

To my present self, What now?

If there’s nothing more I can try…

I must rest.

My eyes sigh

   My heart **cries**

           My smile **dies**

So I must lie

**** Down to rest.

Perhaps tomorrow

I will try

---

Again.
