I try
I try so hard
I try so fucking hard I'm not even sure how I find the effort the time the money the energy but I do.
I try so incredibly fucking hard and it seems to make a lack of a difference
I matters so little to so many
I can't even figure it out
I thought trying was the secret to winning
But now I'm told if I try too much that's smothering
If I try not enough that's no effort
If I try but seem unimpressed that's nonchalant which is also bad
So how the fuck am I supposed to navigate this hellscape of efforts?
How?
