Trying

Why do I stand here, screaming? Into this stormy weather. Do I want to be heard, or am I to afraid? To get noticed… Why does it have to be? All or Nothing! I have you, I am happy. No one gets me, the world falls apart. Trying, but not hard enough Doing it all at once, no focus Try to focus, nothing gets done Screaming! So loud, but nothing. Fall apart, what a failure. Watching others, mixed feelings Proud, envious, sad, happy… Highs so high, I can’t see the fall that is about to hit me. Lows so low, no one can find me under the blankets in the dark. Trying, but not hard enough Doing it all at once, no focus Try to focus, nothing gets done

I have been writing since I was a teenager. At school I often read my poems on stage at school events. Sometimes I don't write for a long period of time, but I find it good way to express feelings and thoughts that fill my head.
