I try, I always try

My attempts lead to contemplation of

My ideas that collide with the emotional storms

A thundering of my hearts desires with all the effects of all my realities

I keep going, still going

Stifled and abandoned, through an unkempt garden

Of all my sorrows combined with all the joys I’ve held on

A journey of today’s and tomorrow’s as yesterday’s pass on by

I imagine, wishing for more light

Tangled in my web, contemplating my escape

Fleeing my mind and physically entrapped in the now

A lifelong dream of letting myself melt into my words and lay it to dry on paper

I have arrived, longing for a welcome

An intake of fresh air leaves me in adornment of life

A self absolving victory with wounds of my battles to prove my fight

Along with major wounds inside, minor scratches on the out

Yet I keep trying, turning attempts into accomplishments

Tired and defeated, determined to be on the top, despite self imposed limitations

Desperate to keep trying, to keep trying, keep trying
