I Tried Poem by Zaq Matthews

I tried for so long I tried,
Tried until my brain was fried
Tried until I broke down and cried

Years went by without tears
Years of emotional smears
Years of too many beers

I need to stop having to plead
I need a way to recede
I need to take my own lead

But I've got the strength to survive
I've got the power of five
I've got to leave this hive

Out the door, just about
Out past the roundabout
Out now without a doubt

New times ahead, who knew
New friends met in a queue
New you and me, me and you?
