Try To Comeback Poem by Kevin Carney

Try To Comeback



This isn’t going to work at all.
So hard I’ve tried to keep it all together…
I tried to see the light of the day…
I tried to shade my eyes from all the sadness.

You brought it all out in the open.
I can’t say if you were right or wrong.
You played your hand and so out of control it went.
The fears and consequences started to drive you insane.

Did you do this all just to survive?
Did you spell it all out just to be vindictive?
Were you sure it was what you really wanted?
Did you know that you couldn’t bring it all back?

You couldn’t see the end or the beginning.
Stubborn you became, just digging your heels in.
So out of control it became, you started to regret your actions.
So fast you had to get out, it was going to blow up in your face.

You looked at your options;
all you could see is your own crucifixion.
The pressure put on yourself by your deeds is your own cross to bear.
You thought you would gain redemption;
instead it led you to your own living hell.
Its all over, it’s led you away,
going nowhere, with no hope of a future.

It’s led you to throwing it all away, you’ll never go back.
You’re willing to lose it all,
because you have lack the courage to hold firm.
Leaving you with doubts in your head,
not really sure what is it for.
Did you finally deceive yourself,
could you really see this all?

It’s led you away, from all you knew,
you cut you ties with everything you knew.
Such a move you took upon yourself, it’s all over,
you seem you are alone.
Too much pride, you’ll never come back,
is that what you really wanted?
When you wake up all alone, will you try to come back?
