I ask even when I know <br />That I won't get an answer <br />I try so hard to <br />Just break down that emotional barrier <br />I know I won't succeed <br />But I still have to try <br />That's just a mountain that <br />I absolutely HAVE to climb <br />Even though I'm terrified of those heights <br />Cuz seeing you upset <br />It makes an ocean flow from my eyes <br />Especially when I'm helpless to change <br />The fact that you're in pain <br />I just can't bear to witness this <br />But I can't give up trying <br />Cuz I care so much <br />And I think the same <br />I'm sure I don't make a difference <br />And nobody would care if I was gone away <br />Maybe permanently. [I hope you don't think that: '(] <br />All the inner thoughts <br />You try so heavily to defend <br />I have those too <br />And because of them, I almost vanished <br />One of the reasons I stayed <br />Was because of you <br />I care too much about you and her <br />To ever be able to go away <br />Maybe that's one of the reasons <br />You two are the only ones <br />I can ever talk to <br />And be myself, for once <br />And let down my guard <br />But you never do <br />I just want to fix <br />This mess that's been made <br />Of your emotions <br />I try so hard to help <br />But you never let me <br />But I can't give up <br />Not for anything<br /><br />Tiffany Rose Moczydlowski<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/perseverence-4/
