Piece by Broken Piece

Try

Try to forget what he said

But its burned in the back of your mind

Try to be happy

But its been so long you forgot

Try to escape his hands

But they're already there

To late

Try to fake a smile

But not too hard, they'll notice

Try to sleep

But don't dream, you know what that will bring

Try to erase that memory

The one you know all to well

Try to say you're fine

Without your voice cracking, giving you away

Try to look at yourself in the mirror

And believe it never happened

Because if you tell yourself something long enough

You start to believe the lies

Try to put yourself together again

Even when most of the pieces are lost

Try not to get to close

Its always the ones you love that hurt you the most

Try to be friendly

but don't make any friends

Try to open up

But Never let anyone in

Try to cover it up

But don't let it fade away

Try to leave the past in the past

But dream about it every night

Try to make them believe you're okay

If they believe it, maybe you can too

Try to be alright

Even when you know it isn't true

Try to catch every piece of your heart

As it shatters under the weight of goodbye

Say I love you

But never mean it

Who needs love anyways

Try to say your life is great

When you know its worse than hell itself

Try to distract yourself

But hear the voice reminding you

In the shadows of your fears

Try to say you aren't afraid

When you can't even close your eyes

Try to let people help

But they'll never really understand

Try to heal

But look down at every single scar

Try to think it'll keep u strong

But cry every time you think about it

Try not to feel

To feel like your dying

Even when you feel the life you thought u had being drained away

Tell lies

Live them as if they were true

Try to breathe

Even if the air is too thick for your lungs

Try to warn them

But they never really listen

Try to tell yourself

People actually do love you

But know...

No one ever really could

Try to trust

With the single thread you have left

Try to convince yourself to stay

Even when you know that they'll be better off when you're gone

Try not to cry for her

The girl you once were

The one you'll never be again

Life e awake every night and know

Know

You will never be enough

For you

For anyone

Try not to feel like a prisoner

But, stay shackled to your conscious

Try to run

But you'll only ever go in circles

Try not to blame yourself

Even if its all you can do

Try to be you

Even when everyone else says it isn't right

Try.

Try to be the hollow shell of a person you always will be

Try to let it go

Yours truly,
