I am trying during the wins.

The obstacles cleared.

The situations cleared with grace.

The mysteries solved.

The moments when I can pull through for a loved one.

I for the moments of triumph.

***

I am trying during the losses.

The backslide to a worse state.

The challenges that cannot be solved.

The times when grace fails.

The instances when there is no proper answer or help.

I still try when everything falls apart.

***

I am tired of trying.

But I do it for the moments in between where I do not have to try.

The quite moments where the heart floats.

The mind stills and finds a better peace.

The world stands still and sees the effort.

I just hope you do too.
