Why Should I Try?

Why should I try if I don’t get anything back?
Why should I try if I get pushed off the tracks?

Why should I try if all they do is lie?
Why should I try if they make me want to cry?

Why should I try if they won’t wipe the slate clean?
Why should I try if they are intentionally mean?

Why should I try if they don’t understand me?
Why should I try if they don’t want to be free?

Why should I try if they don’t give me respect?
Why should I try if my path and theirs disconnect?

I will try because this walk is tough
I will try because I receive Gods love

I will try because God is my only hope
I will try because God can take me home
