As I Try

My mind is in turmoil
I try to sort through my thoughts
All of my plans have been foiled
And my mind is where it is not

I just cannot take all
That this is throwing at me
You might as well watch as I fall
Into the turbulent sea

I tried my best
But sometimes I fail
And I must take a rest
From against the gale

After all this, I'll try again
I won't give up 'cause it was hard
Never let it be said that I didn't win
Or that I wasn't on my guard

You will see what I have shown
And after the sunlight breaks,
I'll take my mind back to its home
And throw out that which I hate
