Sometimes, You Just Try Too Hard

Sometimes you just try too hard... You push so hard on the wish That you let up on the do. You concentrate on the will And it overcomes the way. Your efforts are minus attainment. Your appetites can't coax a crumb. Your passions spark no romance. And your cravings die in longing. Nothing works its magic. Nothing ignites a spark. Everything ends in disaster. Everything is not good enough. So you push the panic button As you pull the red alarm. Then, you kick the door wide open And you run with all your might. Until, at last...

You drop the ball...Lying alone in the street, As you take the fall...Your end you do meet. Though you've tried it all... Your failure is sweet You still hit the wall... As you accept the defeat.
