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.
