He Tried Poem by NaKendra Currie

This poem is for the boy who became a man over night
This poem is for the man struggling to keep his head up
This poem is for the boy who dreamed he would make it out
The boy who grew up with many different faces
The man who stood up for what was right even through he stood alone
The man who couldn't be understood by god himself
The person who tried is best but didn't succeed the first time
The man who tried and tried and tried for his body to be on the same path as his mind 
The young boy who couldn't dream of happiness but only of fearfulness 
The man who became scared of losing he train of thought
This poem was intended to be stretched from man to man and boy to boy 
The boy who became a man and the man that become the father 
This poem is for your brother, your uncle, your granddad, your father, your husband, and the prodigy who made it through.
