She Tried so hard and it Hurt
when she Failed
covered in scribbles and light gray lines,
she couldn’t erase.
sour notes, wrong keys that Frustrated her
No matter how hard you try
a trail of dust where a ball hit the ground,
she was out.
so many different ways that Never Quite Satisfied
No matter how hard you try
smiles in corridors at people and Inwardly,
she laughed to herself.
Awkward conversations and vital Missing Details
No matter how hard you try
so many opinions they Hid behind masks,
she in her room.
word after word that just Couldn’t get the point across
No matter how hard you try
... you will fail
... until you don’t
She grew impatient.
She Gave Up.
For every time I tried something that I was supposed to be good at, something that was mine, and always came up short.
