Well, I Try

This is great!
Well, I try.
You're so great!
Well, I try.
You write so great!
Well, I try.
Don't sell yourself short, you do, not try!

What do you want me to say?
It's true, I try.
Should I say
It's not? I'm not? I don't?
Don't be silly, sure it is! You are! You do!
This is why I say I try.
To me, it's not. But I try.
To me, I'm not. But I try.
To me, I don't. But I try.
I want it to be. I want to be. I want to.
So I try.
I don't think it is yet. I don't think I am yet. I don't think I do yet.
But I want to think it.
And so I try.
And I want to.
So I try.

Don't sell yourself short, you do, not try!
Well, I'll try.
