My Best Try I try to escape, Yet she haunts my dreams. No one can hear My muffled inner screams. I have no nightmares When I am asleep. It's when I awaken That to me they do creep. Sometimes I close my eyes, And then I wonder why, Why this hasn't happened When I've given my best try. My many efforts fail, Just like they always do. I finally own the world, And now she hopes for two. I've given my best try, And now here's my last breath. I hope I'll find some peace In my self-inflicted death. Written in 2000	Poetry Page Homepage

My Best Try

I try to escape,
Yet she haunts my dreams.
No one can hear
My muffled inner screams.

I have no nightmares
When I am asleep.
It's when I awaken
That to me they do creep.

Sometimes I close my eyes,
And then I wonder why,
Why this hasn't happened
When I've given my best try.

My many efforts fail,
Just like they always do.
I finally own the world,
And now she hopes for two.

I've given my best try,
And now here's my last breath.
I hope I'll find some peace
In my self-inflicted death.
