I've Tried

I've tried, I really have.

“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” — Samuel Beckett.



I’ve tried, God I’ve tried. Tried so hard, for so long. And I’ve failed, God I’ve failed. Failed so badly, so many times.

But I’m getting back up on that horse, God I’m trying. Try so hard, once again. And I’m going to fail, God I’m going to fail. Fail so badly, once again.

But I’m going to get back up, God I’m getting back up. I’ll try so hard, again and again. And I’m going to fail, God I’m going to fail. I’ll fail, again and again.

But my failures will be better, God they’ll be better. They’ll be more real. They’ll mark time and mark progress. My failures will be better, God they’ll be better.

I will learn Algebra, God, I will.
