Sumanya Suman Poet Rhyme

Try

Try
I try and try, 
and utter a word.
Only to be left,
Ignored and unheard.

I try and try, 
to tell what I feel.
Only to end up quiet,
Assuming that would heal.

I try and try, 
to explain myself.
But end up with letters,
Unsent, up my shelf.

I try and try, 
to prove my worth.
But end up being a disappointment,
A burden since birth.

I try and try, 
to live my life.
Only to lose myself,
To that one kitchen knife.
