Why Do I Try? Poem by Hailey Stump

Why do I try?
It always leads me to crying
why do I try?
It always leads to goodbye

But I now know why I try
I try to my head high in the sky
Why I try is not goodbye
It is more of a reply

Why do I try?
I try because I'm on standby
Knowing nearby someone will not deny me
Con you see what I'm implying?

Why do I try?
I know why
It's so I don't have to say goodbye or even cry
I try so I don't get asked why
Why am I crying or getting told goodbye
whoever
Why do I try?
It always leads me to crying
Why do I try?
I try because I can keep my head high
And deny the whoever told me goodbye or even made me cry
