You Tried
Location
Just one person
Hardly lacking in passion
But couldn’t possibly take the action
Stuck in a box
With nothing but your thoughts
Trying to make a move
But you haven’t got a clue
And it’s so hard to see
With that dark cloud hanging free
Setting you back
Making you aware of what you lack
And that is we call
This generation’s greatest downfall
Taking the lives of someone small
Small enough not to know
The value that could grow
But when you have such ambition
Life becomes a failed mission
And what becomes the norm
Is what makes you relatable in form
Although education is free
It’s not as easy as play station 3
With those words that make you crack
You recline and relax
You retreat back
Where those words of what you lack
Disappear completely
And this world is seemingly yours
And as you call this place your home
You’ve signed your name in the stone
Things begin to pile high
You’re trudging to get by
But all you need is to get away from that black cloud in the sky
And then again with that temporary fix
Life becomes your own personal glitch
Just because the wires in your brain
Are off in some sort of way
They say life isn’t fair
But those hypocrites still care
Trying to rewire and rehire
What seemed to work before
But wasn’t life just a bore?
They want you to just smile
By taking all you’re feeling for awhile
Then all those things you never lacked
Passion, desire, disappear on a track
Not even a dream escapes your mind
But at least you produce a damn smile from time to time
Yea and everything’s okay
You don’t even have to say
A word
Because that would be absurd
To even express, to have the nerve
To say how you feel
To make people understand what’s real
They stick you in a bubble
But when you come out it’s such trouble
And you’re okay with sitting on the bench
You just want that chance
To show you’re not abnormal
They say it gets better
They say be patient
But how ignorant to the think
You’re just sitting in the shade
When you can’t walk into the sun
You can’t even see it
You’re not sitting in the shade
It’s a cold dark grave
And you’ve waited for that day
It’d be of use
Praying it doesn’t come by your own moves
No motivation but somehow you push through
You manage the least you can do
Each day up to your knees
The task at hand hardly a breeze
Step out into that deep blue sea
You lose yourself into everything you can be
Because it was just too hard
To patch up the scars
Feelings aren’t worth it
You’re told to forget
The sadness in your heart
To stop caring from the start
You push it in without release
They wonder why you’re deceased
