I Try

I try so hard but it’s never enough

There’s always other stuff

Whatever I do, whatever I say

If it’s not the correct way I am never invited to play

When I trust I do it fully

But the trust is severed by a bully

I smile through the pain

Even when you consider it a game

I have an inner strength I’ve never shown

But it can also be shattered like a bone

You tell me I have issues

And I guess I do

I waited so long for someone true

And you just seemed to come up out of the blue

I showed you parts of me no one has ever seen

I liked to believe you were someone on who I could lean

You always know you’re never needed when you fall behind and no one notices
