Trying

Everything I put myself to do
I do with effort
I'm not perfect not even close
It mightn't be the best but...

Can't you look past that?
An effort is better than an excuse
Clearly you don't know that
So you continue to abuse...

Me, for not doing it right
Or without any pride
I've put my blood and sweat into this
And added a few tears from the times I cried

You can't count my efforts
You won't count my tears
I could cry blood
But still nobody cares

Do this! Do that!
Can't you see I'm doing something already?
Commands, demands falling like rain
Not even time to breathe

Work me and tire me out
Because you don't have to do it
I have no choice but to
But can't take anymore of your shit

You'd never notice my effort
Even if I was dying
I'd still try to tell you
At least I'm trying
