don't judge me for this depressing ass poem, I posted this on insta as well I think on an old account so don't say if you've seen it (u prob havent) that I copied.

I Try

I try everyday to be perfect for them
To be happy, to smile, to laugh
I try to look them in the eyes and say
"I'm doing great" even though I feel like screaming
and crying wanting to die
I try so hard that it feels like I'm not trying anymore
I try so hard it hurts to cry, it hurts to frown, it hurts to tell the truth
I have tried so much that I feel less perfect than I want to be so I keep trying, changing myself for them...
but in the end they are trying too... Trying to be perfect for everyone... For everything....
