I Tried
by

I write for re-direction,
I write to find the strength,
I write because I lack the notion
To speak what's on my mind.

I laugh to ease the tension
I laugh to bide the time,
I laugh because I'm quite nervous
For the happiness I find.

I sing when I do dishes,
I sing when in the bath,
I sing because I want to
To help get through the time.

I cry inside my head,
I cry inside the dark,
I cry where no one watches,
For the ever sorrowed chime.

I tried to find an answer,
I tried to let it pass,
I tried because I needed hope-
To get me through the night.

I tried to cry in silence,
I tried to sing in tune,
I tried to laugh it all away-
And then I tried to write.
