I'm trying.....

I'm trying my best,
to give you what you want,

I'm trying to hang in there,
but I'm only slipping farther away,

I'm trying to love myself,
as much as I know you love me,

I'm trying to understand,
why this is what my life has to be,

I'm trying not to hurt myself,
as much as I wish to do,

I'm trying to hold on,
only because of you,

I'm trying to remember,
all the good times I had,

I'm trying to be tough,
but it seems like everything I have just isn't enough,

I'm trying to get to understand myself,
only so I can make my life better,

I'm trying to be the daughter you once had,
but everything in my life seems to go bad
