Poem

I Have Tried

I have tried and tested
All that I am.

I’ve all but exhausted
This tired old man.

I’ve accepted change
And I’ve learned new things

I’ve lost to the better person 
Because I did not treat myself better.

akira artly Date: 9/28/2026 7:26:00 AM I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@: akiraa_artly
