But I'm not like them.

I've tried to be normal.

But I still end up being called weird.

But they just scream louder.

I've tried to be whole.

But I just end up broken more.

I've tried to ignore the blade.

But it just calls me more.

I've tried to be strong.

But I'm still so weak.

No matter how hard I tried.

I still end up messing it all up.

I've tried to fight this for so long.

But I just want to give up.

I've tried to end it all.

But I'm still here.

Maybe I should have tried harder.
