I try

I try

I try to be happy
but the smile won’t show

I try not to cry
but the tears fall harder

I try not to be jealous
But the feeling never goes away

I try to be perfect
but I have too many flaws

I try to be like her
But you have to be yourself

I try to be the perfect daughter
But I have too many arguments with my parents

I try to express my feelings
But I can’t find anything meaningful enough to do so

I try not to breakdown
but there’s always something to push me over the edge

I try not to cut
But the blade seems tempting

I try not to spread rumors
But they seem to tempting not to tell someone

I try not to make enemies
But sometimes friends won’t always be there for you

I try not to trust
But I need someone to be there for me

I try to go to sleep at night
But im awakened by my thoughts

I try not to hurt people
but one way or another its going to happen

I know your going to be mine forever
but what if forever doesn’t last

I try to get straight A’s
But I end up slacking off anyways

I try to keep my feelings to myself
But I can’t. for I need someone to be there for me.

I try to know all the answers
but im not that smart

I try to be pretty
In a world full of make-up and plastic surgery

I try not to care
but I end up caring anyways

I try not to think of all the bad things
But there the only things I ever end up thinking about

I try to have a good day
But there’s always something that is ruining it

I try to be what you want me to be
But its too hard to live up to your standards

I try to be and not to be so many things.
I try my hardest.
But it never works out in the end.
The only thing that I don’t have to try to be like
is me.
