Trying Hard

Pleasing you -

I try hard at my job.

I try hard at my art.

I try hard at my love.

I’m trying, doing the best I can.

I’m giving the best I got.

I know it’s not enough.

My tries are not hard enough,

I’m not trying hard enough.

I wish I could try harder.

I wish I could be someone else.

But I’m only me.

So, I think it is best to be said,

I’m better off dead.
