Heather Woods Broderick I Try
I try, I try, I try
I try, I try, I try
To not flounder in the sheets of rain coming in sideways
To not bridle at the darkness shivering through me
To not follow the draft of the leaves, we're always falling to their beast
To not be the motionless body of the honeybee, but to have the stinger in me
I try, I try, I try
I try, I try, I try
To wake and keep the morning quiet before the world starts seeping in
To carefully go and gently leave the hearts of my closest friends
To slow down, to look around, I need to learn to breathe again
To know each fear that may dwell in me, befriend them, and turn ‘em to the wind
(Over and over again)
I try, I try, I try
(Over and over again)
I try, I try, I try
(Over and over again)
I try, I try, I try
(Over and over again)
I try, I try, I try
