I try. I try. I try.

And what do I get?

Nothing. I get nothing.

Like loosing a bet.

Or gambling,

Except I gamble my time,

My time ticks away,

A constant uphill climb.

A climb with no outcome,

Or no way to get down,

My progress means nothing,

All I can do is frown.

I try. I try. I try.

You would think I would prevail,

But I don’t.

I just try and fail.
