I Tried to Try By: David Messmer
by david-messmer
Sorry
It feels like my life is falling apart
And nobody knows it but me.
Like life’s tied a noose,
And hung me from a tree.
Sorry for letting you down.
I know it really is my fault
And I have my reasons,
Though I’m sure you’d rather not hear
About how I’m near [broken.]
It must seem like I slacked off this last week but I tried to try,
For the past week, it’s taken my best effort just not to cry.
I have a lot going on and I won’t pretend that I’m the only one,
But these feelings I’ve kept hidden sometimes seep through and stun [me.]
I’m sorry I wasn’t there but I wanted you to know,
I tried to try.
