I Try
I'm not perfect but I try,
Try to be the best and at times it hurts so much I cry.
The daily struggle to fight the battle within,
To absorb the positive and do away with the negativity,
But yet at times it's left me feeling so lonely.
All I can do is try to understand,
Be sympathetic and become a better woman.
Try to make you see that I appreciate you,
Show you that I love and care about you.
Try to show that even tho I'm not perfect my intentions are good,
By being there through everything just like I should.
Try to give you all you need,
Fighting the evil trying hard to succeed.
Try to be like no other that you've ever had,
Erasing all the pain from the ones who treated you bad.
Try and ease your mind from the worries and stress,
Show you how you are truly blessed.
Try to be the best sister and daughter that will make you proud,
So my light will shine through even standing in a crowd.
Try to meet the potential that I'm capable of having,
To have a brighter future without excess baggage.
Try to make the people I love happy because that's how much I care,
To be the run to girl when your life is in despair.
Try to right my wrongs before it's too late,
Hoping and praying that I'll be standing in line at the golden gate.
Try to fix my mistakes because Lord knows there's many,
By learning from the past and understanding fully.
Try to help the best way I know,
To be there always is what I try to show.
Try to mold the broken pieces and putting them back into place,
So I can be strong and do whatever it takes.
Try to have an open mind to another point of view,
To see things differently just for you.
Try to give it my best fighting through the blood, sweat, and tears,
Because I want to be better in the upcoming years.
Trying isn't easy it's a constant agony,
But I'm willing to go through it to become a better me.
