Trying

My Dream has fallen short This dream of mine feels hurt I try and I try But the more I try disappointment rises I’m too strong to cry But my soul still hurts My body still aches from the want The dream kept a light on Its slowly disappearing Reality is starting to set in When I dream, I dream big But in realty my biggest dreams rarely come true Who is here to uplift me? Who is here to support me to see things through? Giving up is easy but what should I do when I fought all I could? The dream felt so close I could taste it But what can I taste if I feel time was wasted giving the dream attention and hope? Am I a fool for wanting something greater than myself? Am I a fool for wanting some form of happiness? I guess all I got right now is desperation to keep trying I’ll keep trying until there isn’t anything to try for anymore I expect to keep trying to fulfill my dreams until I die
