Never Amount To Anything

I try.
With tear streaked cheeks, I try.
With a mask on my face, I try.
With a crushed heart in my chest, I try.
I try, I try.
I'll never amount to anything.

I try.
With an anxiety ridden mind, I try.
With lonely nights, I try.
With bottled up secrets, I try.
I try, I try.
I'll never amount to anything.

I try.
With yelling adults, I try.
With frowning faces, I try.
With hating eyes watching, I try.
I try, I try.
I'll never amount to anything.

I tried.
With blessing wrists, I tried.
With empty bottles, I tried.
With a twisting noose, I tried.
I tried, I tried.
But I never amounted to anything.
