Beat Down

I try to talk,
But i get beat down.
I try to walk,
But i just get tripped by someone else.
I try to stay real,
While everyone else is false.
I try to speak,
But everyone just has a rude remark.
I tried to fight,
But it only left a mark.
I tried to see the good in life,
But i just saw a bad sight.
