You tried

You tried.

You lived

Up to your beliefs-

While scared,

Unsure

Of the future,

If it would

Work.

You still tried.

Even when

You got more

Scared,

When you saw

The familiar

Signs,

Made the same

Mistakes,

Made the same

Apologies,

With the same

Remorse.

Then you stopped

Trying

To fix it

Again,

And again,

And again,

When

It never stopped

Failing-

No matter

What you did

Or didn’t

Do.

But until then,

You

Tried.
