I Am Trying

I know there's something great in me,

Something I struggle to find.

The days and months keep passing

As I lie here, stuck in my own mind.

Always looking for ways to improve myself,

But I struggle to take that first step.

I often wonder if this is it for me

Or if I'm stuck in my regret.

I try to hide my insecurities

Because the worry is just too much,

But they wind up shooting out of me

with every passing touch.

So today I write this poem,

to see what you might say.

Any words of wisdom

Could help my soul someway.
