I'M Trying Poem by Lizzie Resendiz

I'm trying to be better
I'm trying to be happy
I'm trying to be more like her
but I'm me and can't do anything right
I'm trying to smile
I'm trying to laugh
I'm trying to not be vile
but I can't it's just not me
I'm trying to walk into the sunlight
I'm trying to be strong
I'm trying to win this fight
but I'm losing, and you don't care
I'm trying to do this all for you
I'm trying isn't that what you wanted
I'm trying what more can I do
I'm Trying, I'm Trying...
