Try – Written January 2008 (Aged 48)

Try

some people grab your heart
you want to make it right
be the person,
who finally finds the light
carefully guiding them
you’d like to be the person
who had not hurt them
or torn their life to shreds
or just found them,
alone in their bed
part of you is taken
especially when you know pain
the sort that tears you up
the kind that resonates
and makes it all feel like it’s not enough
some people reflect yourself
and where others turn away
not wanting to face the inside
you try your best
you try and you try
but somehow it’s always a mess
and you just the same
destined to be another
who causes hurt and pain




James Garratt – January 2008
