Keep Trying

Copyright ©2009  Stephanie R Schubert

I keep trying and looking the wrong way
I keep trying and the wrong things I say
I keep trying just to break through
I keep trying don’t know what else to do
I have sworn off men they only bring rain
I have sworn off heartache and all the pain
I keep looking to find happiness inside of me
I tried all this time and never could see
That life is worthless when you trust the wrong things
Circumstances can crush the simplest dreams
I keep trying to pick myself up again
I keep reaching for that one big win
Trying to pull myself up when I am sinking so far
Praying to god and wondering where you are
Silently praying and whispering as I speak
Trying to be strong when I feel weak
But then the sun shines on a brand new day
All I can think is this one is going my way
I start with smile and try once again
Looking where I’m going not where I’ve been
