I stoped Trying
i tried to hold it in but it slipped
tried to play it loud but it skipped
tried to stomach it but threw up
tried to defuse it but it blew up
i tried to fix it but it broke
tried to laugh but it wasnt a joke
tried to believe but it broke my mind
tried to polish it, but it refused to shine
i tried to cry but it was hard as stone
tried to understand but it wouldnt be known
tried to hold it but it wouldnt stay
tried to change it but it wouldnt sway
i tried to numb it but it loved the pain
tried to dry it but it loved the rain
tried to see it but it remained clear
tried to mask it but it reappeared
so i tried to kill it but wouldt die
tried to bleed it but its blood had ran dry
tried to burn it but fire wouldnt catch
tried to cage it but it broke the latch
i ran after but it was to swift
tried to scream but it silenced my lips
tried to appologise for what id done that day
tried to reason but it jumped anyway
i tried to mourn but no tears came forth
tried to feel bad but found no remourse
tried to hurt but i felt no pain
so i stopped trying.....

I felt each line

Love and how ones heart works will forever be a mystery. I thought maybe I would stop to at one point but I crave it...One day I guess
Another job nicely done, the emotions were well written here

I think its kinda cool when my work is perceived in ways other than how I intended it, If the reader could relate or feel it and it worked for them. But when they feel it how I felt it when I wrote it...Thats a Good feeling

i write for the masses...i write to effect others in positive ways...even if it is just to make them think for a little while...so any form of interpretation is good, at least they gave it the time to interpret it...but when someone can see the words...the images...the emotion...as they were put to paper...when someone can see the blood that the lines where written in...it is then that i feel i have succeeded

try n try again

The content is definitely there Good stuff! the beat is forced almost everywhere... i know you wanted to keep the format consistent but... breaking these phrases up will give you a better flow. if i have to breathe more than once per phrase it's too much... again the content is marvelous just string it together

pretty good

poems that have a recurring word like trying at the beginning of each line always seem like my favorites, so this one is probably one of my favorites.

Our minds can tell us we need to love that person, or forgive this person, or feel badly about a situation...but our hearts always trump our brains.
We can keep trying to listen and do as our brains tell us to do, but our heart will always prevail.
Great write!

thank you for the beautiful comment ;) the brain tells us what to do and how we should do things, but the heart is the reason why we do them
amazing

I didn't think it was about love though... As I was reading it, I thought about a friend of mine who hates who he is. His emotions, his thoughts and actions repulse and scare him.I thought of him and the things he says to me and it seemed like you were speaking for him. I loved it.

Captivated.

Wow this is a really great piece of literature. It totally enveloped my soul...It speaks to the deep painful emotions that Love brings us, yet we still seek it.. Wonderful job. Absolutely loved it.

I really liked the recurring word, trying because you want to give an effort in a relationship but sometimes you say to yourself what else is there to try, what else can i do to change where this is going, until you realise to just let go
