MOMENTS - HOME             Elsa - I Try

hardly a day goes by
when I do not try
     try
     try
     try and try and try again

hardly a day goes by
when I don’t do
     do
     do
     strive, achieve, do my best
          my damnedest best

 

hardly a day goes by
when I am not tired
     tired
     tired
     draggy
     and crabby
   forcing the flow
   pushing to go
          no matter how tired
               how tired of trying

hardly a day goes by
when I am not tired
     trying
     doing
     seeming
          forceful
          and cheerful
          strong
     seemingly a fountain
                with water galore
          always more in store


           
the days go by fast
the days go by faster
                  and faster still
the days go by
I’m never still

 

I am tired of trying
to grow in dry soil
where plants keep dying

I am tired

I try and try and try
        anything
                not to die

I try  and try and try

        hope keeps me alive
