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.
