Still, I Try

I can't close my eyes

tears gather.

I can't breathe

the air is stuck.

I can't gulp

my throat is tight.

I try to plant my dream,

but land is

barren

Still, I try.

Even my conscience

mocks me.

Notes: It’s that moment when giving up feels easier, everything is against you;
but you can’t, because giving up just isn’t you.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
