I Try

Why do I try,
when all I want to do is cry?
What keeps me going?
To do what I must,
to survive.
Death would be easy,
where life is so hard.
So why do i try?
For one and one alone,
I try.
But so many,
want him gone.
And with him gone,
I would die.
But they can't see that.
They want, what they want.
For may one and only gone.
And so for us,
I will continue to try.
