Kelly Zakerski Poet Narrative

I Try

I have tried so hard
To let things pass by,
One can take so much,
Believe me, I try.

I hate being used
Or be told a lie,
Being a good friend
It’s hard, but I try.

I help those I know
I ask myself why,
Keep getting stepped on,
But yet, I still try.

I hope that you know
You don’t have to pry,
My feelings get hurt,
To hide them, I try.

I have to be strong
At times I will cry,
Be honest and true,
To yourself, I try.

Jean Bonella September 19, 2009 at 4:59 AM That is a beautifully written poem. It is sad that you feel that way and I wish you much love and happiness in the future. I have added you as a favorite. Thank you for sharing this. I know a lot of us out there feel the same way at times. I have felt that way many times in my life.
