TRYING

trying to please

but not feeling at ease

trying to smile

but hiding sadness

trying to stand tall

but bowing under the weight

trying to find me

but feeling lost.

 

putting people first

but being left behind

putting a face on

but wanting to hide

putting best foot forward

but failing on each step

putting yourself out there

but finding where that is.

 

looking to the future

to see the light

looking for a better way

to find a new direction

looking deep inside

to find the courage

looking outside the box

to finally get where i'm supposed to be.....
