You Try Hard

You try hard to make a position
Knock on closed doors far and near
To take your ego in without invitation
And search for unfilled hearts bare
To seduce for unwanted occupation.

You try hard to make a position
The doors may open or may not
You are a stranger close to none
You may find many hearts afloat
Fleeting they hold you in fraction.

You try hard to make a position
Make melting shadow in setting sun.
