"Trying is exhausting"

lisztmsv

try is what they say i should do,

every hour or two,

try until i'm blue in the face,

until i stop my mistakes.

 

do better,

stop crying,

wear this dress,

always look your best,

fix your hair,

you don't need to look like a grizzly bear.

 

smile,

don't frown,

turn that upside down.

try to stand on your own,

all alone.

 

i desire to scream & yell at all my 

insecurities.

perfection is trying to be tiring.

my choices aren't defined by the ones who can see,

they are only judged by me.
