I Tried

How hard I tried,
To win the race named life,
But now I'd often hide,
Because failure is a rife
How hard I tried,
Unwillingly, to be the perfect,
Because the world decides,
Because the world directs
How hard I tried,
To be free of my insecurities,
but I shied,
Because they judged 'em as my 'impurities'
How hard I tried,
To be cheerful,
But they descried,
And turned me tearful
