I try and try

I try and try to make them all happy but no matter what I do its never enough.
I try and try to give them love and I just get yelled at.
I try and try to tell them what's wrong but they wont Liston.
I try and try to love myself but I just end up crying.
I try and try to stay clean but I know eventually I'll just relapse.
Just with something new.
I try and try to change but I cant seem to find the peace I've been looking for.
I try and try to have friends who care but in the end I'm just left alone.
I try and try to smile but it doesn't feel right and is all fake.
I try and try and try and try but nothing works.
