I Try

  

I try to give all I can

       To those in my heart needing comfort

Sometimes I bleed too much

       Suffocating them.

 

I try to find the time

       To guide those needing a compass

Sometimes I get lost

       In a New York minute

 

I try to see the humanity

       In everyone that crosses my path

Sometimes I Criticize

       Forgetting they are human

 

I always try to be Able

Yet find myself

Raising Cain instead.

There is so much beauty to this piece. However, you have a special gift for incorporating imagery in your poetry, such as what you did with Crystal Eyes, of which I was able to connect with the narrator. With I Try, I don't feel as connected with the narrator as I did with the poem Crystal Eyes. When you have imagery throughout your pieces of writing, it is pure magic, such as there is with Crystal Eyes. The spark is missing from I Try.
