I Try to Try to Try


Striving
by: Rob Paquin

If pride is a sin
I'm a sinner.
If losing's a win
I'm a winner.
A smile's just a grin
And, I'm a grinner
For the ruthless in life
I'm just dinner.

If hope were a product
I'd be buying
But the truth of the world
Is it's lying
And through all the tears
I've been crying
I see all the people
They're sighing

So I guess I'll just keep on
With the trying
Just shooting for goals
I've been eyeing
Even if their no closer
Or dying
You'll find me here
Still striving

Heart rending words to me... I used the word without looking it up, but I’ll stick with it, for my personal feelings when reading it.

Appreciative of the time you took to read it. Hopefully it was an enjoyable thing and not just a related emotion.

Be well

@HikingMan I tend to run in the deeper end of things, and have learned to appreciate all emotions, for it is all that makes the whole.

I’m good, thank you, and hope you are too.
