I tried to tempt my madness I tried to quiet my heart .

I tried to tape my self together hoping I wouldn’t fall apart.

I couldn’t help but think and think again .

And overthink til my brain gave in .

I tried to humble myself and wallow away the minutes .

But I still cannot stop even as I write this very sentence.

So I decided even if I cry I am still strong .

Even if I look like I gave up I can still go on.

And even if I walked a hundred miles I can convince myself it hasn’t been that long.
