I Try

I had plans on being a somebody
but each time I turn around another hand pushes me down
I get back up and try again
only to land on my rear

back where I started I make my climb
taking each step with pride
I slip and fall
but my will is still intact

I try again
and push my limits
determined to make it to the top
or at least to my destination

I try... and I try
with moments of pain
and times of tears
I try again

I slip and fall
and stare toward the heavens
maybe I'm at my destination after all
