Still I Try


Still I Try Been through the fire, just at 22; I think I put the time in, just want to satisfy you. I’m more than unusual, quiet in nature; My character is better served, when I walk alone. Did I tell you who I am, young black man; reaching for the sky They say I’ll never make it, but still I try. Sometimes the struggles seem more than I can bear; Who knew it would be so easy, to feel like I can’t survive. Heart gets heavy; can’t seem to cherish the day; But then a voice comes to me, It’s the spirit of destiny inside. It’s a long road ahead; many things to achieve; But when I think how far I’ve come, I still have a dream. Success is in my future, I’m gonna live and not die; In the end I will win; because Still – I Try!!! --YoungRobin

<p>Wow great poem. I love that you keep trying in everything you do&nbsp; because I didn't think we had many determined people in our society anymore. Thanks for inspiring us. Please read my poem and tell me what you think.</p>
