Try

Try
Try
Tired
reduced
Tried turning failure
to free floating style
Tried trysts trusts
Destined to dust
My daily sailing out in hope sallying forth in innocence
Hoping to meet kindness
Courage on my fingertips
All on my own
Lying with liars
And curtailing my freedom
My liberty
Getting upset
Upsets the children
Wish to find strength
Patience fortitude temperance and endurance.

The stones and the bones
On the pavement hurl at me in defiance
Grace we will withhold
Topple the humble till she finds some pride
But I did what I always do
Showed weakness and cried
god
You sent me unprepared
This is battle not life
This is litigation acrimonious
Let us be sly lawyers
And prosecutors
Standing at the bar
I say mea culpa...
Incarcerate that which you won't allow to be free.
