Why do I Even Try

Thank you for all of the supportive comments from the last poem. I'm going through a really hard time right now and I didn't know what else to do.
Why do I even try?

When I know I will just mess up

I won't do exactly what I was told

I will fail at life and the important factors in it

Why do I even try?

When I constantly set a bad example for my siblings

Don't get the good grades

And treat others worse than they deserve

Why do I even try?

When I end up crying myself to sleep

Wishing I were someone else

And living in someone else's shadow

Why do I even try?

Because I have no other choice
I have to go on no matter how much I don't want to.
