Limited Attempts

by Baby Rainbow   Mar 31, 2013


The toughest pain I ever have to face
is the pain of knowing I will never be
good enough no matter how hard I try.

I give it my all just so I can prove
that I am willing to do anything
to make it work -
but somehow I always fail.

And it leaves me with the deepest pain
when I know you think I have not tried.
I will never know how to show you
just how much effort I put in.

So it leaves me thinking just one thing:
if I try and try,
and try again,
but every time I fail....

... How many tries do I have left
before you walk away and tell me
you got tired of waiting?

    Oh Saffie- You have the gift to pour gut wrenching emotion, thoughts and feelings into your writes and make the reader cry with you. One of the many things I adore and admire about you... it's a sad desperation when we try to show someone how hard we try and they still don't see it... sometimes they are blind to everything and in the end, they are the ones who regret it later.

    Truly touching piece!
