A poem about trying your hardest but still failing.

I screamed out, but no one heard
I spoke out, but it is as if I never said a word
I gave everything I have, and it still is not what you want or need
I tried my hardest, but I still bleed

I’m surrounded by many yet still feel so alone
I sit around with my family, but it does not feel like home
I always try to do something to feel that I belong
but it is always a different story behind another song

Day after day, I live this monotonous routine
Wondering if I will ever be able to change anything
I’m becoming more depressed and I am running out of hope
and I wish I could find a better way to cope

but this is how things are for me now
I would reach out for help, but i’m still unsure how
I just hope when I learn to, it will not be too late
and I can wake tomorrow and not feel that dying is my fate

    I loved it so much. I loved the flow. I loved the sadness, the defeat of it. It was raw; It was real. Thank you for sharing. I could relate to the feelings and emotions it stired up. However, I don’t think I could have expressed it as well as you have. Once again, thanks for sharing.

    You just never give up. I love this poem because it’s so sad and very detailed. wish you all the best and remember, keep trying and God bless, my friend! This is a great place to express your emotions rather than keeping them all bottled up inside of you!

    very well-expressed. The flow and the message are both excellent too.
