Mathew Sturgeon Poet Rhyme

I Tried

I tried to be good as a kid
But it never worked out for me
If there was any kind of trouble
Right in the middle is where I'd be

I tried to escape it but I never did
Trouble was like a shadow to me
Like a mosquito on a summer night
Trouble would never let me be

I tried to be like everyone else
And I didn't argue or even fight
But no matter how much I tried
I was always in troubles sight 

I tried to talk myself out of it
That made the spankings worse
Even as an adult I cannot hide
I'm caught in troubles curse
