I Tried

by Poetic Grunt   May 18, 2007


I walk the line, leave it all behind
Ive been waiting forever
Lets go back in time, where i could read you're mind
Ive been waiting
It took the seasons going by to know its not my fault
I try to be perfect
Try to be honest
try to be everything that you ever wanted
I try to be stronger
Try to be smarter
Try to be everything for you...
Its been so long since you've been gone
I used to wait up forever
used to say a prayer wishing you were there
I'm still waiting
you told me once
you'd shop up but i fell for that before i fell to pieces
but i woke up to no one just a picture of Jesus and a house left in pieces
It took the seasons going by to know its not my fault
I try to be perfect
Try to be honest
try to be everything that you ever wanted
I try to be stronger
Try to be smarter
Try to be everything for you...
I want you
I need you
I want to
Believe you
I want you
I need you
I want to
Believe you
I try to be perfect
Try to be honest
try to be everything that you ever wanted
I try to be stronger
Try to be smarter
Try to be everything for you...
I try to be perfect
Try to be honest
try to be everything that you ever wanted
I try to be stronger
Try to be smarter
Try to be everything for you...

    I love the emotion shown throughout the poem. And the repetitions just made it better. I don't know what to say. An amazing write. 5/5

    Tried to be stronger
    Tried to be smarter
    Tried to be everything but you...

    I like the repitition of the word tried, and I think that last line was a perfect way to end the poem. It really had a sense of finality to it. Good job with the poem.
