Trying

The world is unraveling all around me.
Everyone fighting, everyone telling me their troubles
Keeping my problems inside for them.

Giving them advice, not letting others do the same for me.
Trying to keep it all in control, trying not to lose it in front of my friends.
Trying to be perfect for my parents, but nothing I do seems to work.

Trying to understand why my world is like this, not seceding very well.
Trying not to give up, trying to be strong.
Trying to remember that I have a purpose in life.

Trying to find that purpose.
Trying to understand my problems in life.
When will I understand?
