Try as I might,

I will never be able

To reach that happiness

That you seem to have found.

Try as I might,

I will never be able

To reach inner peace

Like my mom did.

Try as I might,

I will never be able

To reach my fullest potential

Like my brother did.

Try as I might,

I will never be able

To make you love me

Like you made me love you.

Try as I might,

I will never be able

To hide from my depression

Like others have before me.
