I Will Try
Fast, like a quip coming off of an arguing tongue
Slow, like the way a heart heals from what it's become
I've been
Digging through my mind
Sifting through my life
And, now I realize I've been polishing my pain like a diamond
And, completely forgetting to live my life
Hurt, like a lover who grows suspect
Healed, like a sinner receiving baptismal forgiveness
I've been
Drifting along directionless
Risking it all in impudence
And, in a general feeling of unworthiness toward myself
And, for reasons I can no longer provide defense
Dead, like melodies held within a child's lullaby
Alive, like a man given back his infant eyes
I will try
