 From my mind

I Try







I TRY

                      
In my life I always try ,
Step by step life's for living I'll get by
Even when things can go wrong,
I grit my teeth and soldier on.
Things they don't always work out
In my mind I scream and shout,
Give me strength. Let me out.




But If I try and try I must
Even if it causes worry and fuss,
When I'm left behind the rest.
And I'm handed second best,
I can hold my head up high
Look you in the eye and say,
“At least I try”.
