I TRY

I try, I really do.
I try as much as I can to take steps I think should lead me to my supposed crown,
But that's all I ever do,
TRY.
It's all I'm really good at.

I need some sort of life map,
Taking me effortlessly through my paths,
Walking me freely between obstacles,
Dragging me in a dramatic sway through failures and disappointments.

My mind knows to say Need.
For all I have now is myself,
And I'm doing a rather good job,
At drowning myself in the quick sand.
And a beautiful show of not finding myself in the chaos.
I don't feel lost,
I am lost.
