I Tried

I tried too hard to be noticed; I tried to be someone I was not; Waiting and waiting I watch time slowly tick away as another day dawns I watch the world scurry around; I wanted to be someone, I wanted to be famous, I wanted life and I wanted love I wanted a lot of things that were out of reach as I sink in slowly under the weight of expectations; I tried to be what they wanted me to be; I tried to be what I was not meant to be; I tried too hard I pushed too far and I went too far; With a forced smile, and a fake laughter to cover my tracks I escape into the shadows and try to fight this one out, all alone
