I Tried
written by Fallen Beauty09:02 PM 10/8/04I tried to open up to you
To let you in my world
You told me what I ought to be
But Hate and Pain unfurled
I tried.
I told you what I felt inside
And what I thought about
You listened the you criticezed
And crushed my dreams with doubt.
But I tried.
Im only human
I make mistakes, too.
But maybe this last fault in me
Is just too much for you.
Even though I tried.
You raised me fine
This isn't your fault
But me without pain
Is like an ocean without salt.
Impossible, but I tried.
You used to dream of a future me
Of a scholar,prom queen, perfect baby girl.
I'm sorry I caouldn't live up to your dreams
'Cause I know I'm just an ugly pearl,
But I tried.
I just don't knowif I'll ever be
The way you'd wished I'd turn out,
But I do know I gave it my best shot
You said that's what it's all about.
That I tried.
But were you lying?
To me?
Your daughter?
Yourself?
Did u want me to try,
But need me to win?
I just can;t help it,
This body I'm in.
I'm sorry
For the way i am
I'll try to be good
Say "yes, sir" and "no, ma'am"
I'll try, again.
I did try, mommy. Forgive me. |
