i tried, i tried, i tried.

I keep trying to run,

but there is nowhere to hide

from all of my problems

that I keep inside.

Honestly, I think

we're all just waiting to die.

We try to seize the moment,

but then its "good bye",

and forced to face reality,

you see an ugly side.

There is no one that knows me,

that can say I hadn't tried;

everyone's watched me grow,

and seen me as I died.

There's still nothing I want to say

after all the tears I've cried,

my words received no water

and to the world they simply dried.

With no direction,

I only stumble with no guide,

a wimpering soul,

just trying to get by.

My mind my biggest bully,

a truth I should confide...

as it rips on me each day,

I wish to run and hide.

I can't stand to seize the moment;

I must go out with the tide

even though I ran away

they can't say I hadn't tried.
