Tried so hard

I tried so hard,

To make everyone's day,

That in the bitter end,

I lost my way.

The rain drops, they kept me,

Company, whenever I was too low,

I kept running through the forest,

So much that I forgot,

I forgot to admire the beauty of flowers.

I was so focused on,

The thorns, that

In the end, the petals went unseen.

I was so intent on running,

That I forgot to take a break,

And I was so adamant about living,

That I forgot to 'live'.

We all, in fact, don't see

The beauty of the world,

Until we lay on our,

Death bed wishing to be loved.

We don't see the light,

We don't admire,

And in the end,

We yearn for another chance...
