Trying

I tried to get good grades.
I'm sorry I failed.
i tried to hang in there.
I'm sorry I bailed.

I tried to be who you wanted.
I'm sorry I'm individual.
I tried to be normal.
I'm sorry I'm unusual.

I tried to work hard.
I'm sorry I'm lazy.
I tried to stay awake.
I'm sorry my vision got blurry.

I tried to be brave.
I'm sorry I got scared.
I tried to be perfect.
I'm sorry I'm impared.

I tried to be strong.
I'm sorry I'm not tough.
I tried to be everything.
Apparently, trying isn't good enough.
