Title: Trying
I'm trying
Everyday I get up and I try
For you
I try to live
I try to breath
I try to be everything you need of me
I'm trying so hard, can't you see?
I'm trying
Everyday I get up,
so grateful I find the strength to
It's all for you
I try to be mother, artist, lover
I try in so many directions
I don't know where I am
But I promise tomorrow,
to get up and try again
Visiting from Bluesky. This is a moving poem, who is it directed to? I can envision a child, a lover or the divine.
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't checked on my blog in a while!
DeleteI tend to only write poems when I'm very emotionally raw, this day was more a "letters to the universe" kinda of feeling. I was overwhelmed by multiple aspects of my life at that time and the poem is directed at all those feelings at once
