I tried is a mask I wear, to hide from the truth I fear. I'll say I tried again and again, but you wouldn't believe me when I'm dead. The sun may never shine again, the moon may never light the paths we walk, but I'll say I tried. I tried in elementary school when people ignored me. I tried in middle school when I fell down. I tried in jr. high when my life fell apart. I'm trying now, with these words i wright. Every stroke a song of hope. I'll say these words again, I tried my dear, sweet friend. I tried when I broke apart. I tried when I stitched you together. I tried when the clouds blocked the light. I tried in the darkest of nights. I tried when the world seems down. I tried when all feels blue. The mask i wear isn't just a facade, its a cry for help So I'll put on the mask again and again, and smile tell the bitter end.
