Michael Walker Poet Rhyme

Why Do I Try

Why do I try?
When trouble comes,
Never just passes by,
Attacking all not some.

I live in pain,
The emotional strain
Felt all in vain,
The pain never wans.

The first time I
Had experienced this pain;
I truly did try,
It was in vain.

I was trapped,
In a terrible nightmare:
My sanity snapped,
Left in misery, despair.

I tried to scream,
I tried to yell,
But being a dream,
Here I had to dwell.

I was but a lad,
No more than eight;
This part is sad,
For those who can relate. 

On a horrible date,
I lost my life:
Safety came late
I dealt with the strife.

My brain was gone,
My sanity torn:
I was just a pawn,
I sat down to mourn.

I was hurt,
Solemnly I cried;
I tried to avert,
But inside I died.
Pain and Sorrow
Changed my life
They ruined my tomorrow 
And added treacherous strife.


No one by my side,
I cried in pain;
It did not subside,
I was utterly slain.

I don’t know why
I even try:
If all I do is cry,
And on the inside die.

Why did I try,
To fight the bad dream;
When in all reality,
It’s worse than it seem.
