I try…But I Fail

Walk with eyes to the ground
Heart under foot–
Soul given to second time around shop
I try, but I’ll fail

There was love
Then there was not
So we moved on
I tried for new life
But the past wouldn’t leave me alone
It haunts with me lies and dispair
Why couldn’t you just forget me?
Let me live on in myself
Why would you feed the world these lies?
Make the world believe i’m something i’m not
Felt I was a good person
Thought I was playing the game right
Followed the rules so I wouldn’t suffer their wrath
You walked out on me
I accepted and let you walk
Now you say I do wrong
I stay far from your world
My eyes are on the floor
How could they do wrong on the ground?
Yet you spill lies to the masses
And you hurt me all over again
Kept my eyes to the dirt
Kept my voice under lock and key
But you make me seem vile
I tried to be forgotten–be a nothing
But I failed
What did I do wrong?
How could I have done it better?
Where can I go to be left to myself?
Why couldn’t you just go away when you left
When will you go away
No point in trying to be so good
Cause you won’t let me live
My life isn’t a game for you
So stop fucking with what you stopped wanting.
