Sometimes Trying Isn't Good Enough
Believe me,
 I am REALLY trying
 and it breaks me 
 when I go back to my
 old ways that
 I want to forget
 but it creeps back.
 TRYING
 is just a word used
 to shut people up,
 but a word that people
 stop believing in after
 some uses of it.
 Somethings yes:
 I really AM
 trying to get over
 and some
 NO.
 But it seems to over power me,
 the will to do so
 to do things I vowed
 not to do.
 Stay strong for awhile,
 then 
 I
 F
 A
 L
 L
 and eventually
 S-h  At-Te  R
 But what to do, 
 a calling more of.
 Something whispering,
 but also something forcing.
 Forcing me to
 think of those thoughts that
 saddens me,
 that tear me,
 that have torn me,
 that has broken be.
 And some how I was able to
 sweep up
 MOST
 of the pieces
 and put myself back together,
 only MOSTLY though.
 There is always that one piece
 where you don’t know where it belongs
 but you know it belongs somewhere
 so you just keep it to the side
 and hoping you will find the place to put it,
 if there’s a place to put it…
 Trying…
 just know that I’m trying.
