The trier, the try hard, and the try your best

He sits there trying to think, laughs, cracks a stupid joke and calls me a sweaty baka. I've learned to ignore it.
He's the trier. He just tries and fails or just screws it for himself.
They call me a try hard 
This is not Die Hard. 
Cause he's the real try hard.
And I'm just trying my best, 
And he's giving up, 
Cause they think I'm "cracked" 
At whatever the hell we're doing.
As long as it's not precise,
Cause life has no real answer,
And i'm not living by the rules of fame. 
And will never take the morning quotes seriously,
Even if i'm the one speaking them
To the two,
And the one I stare at.

  • leaving the heart

    she takes the stairs, 

    her heels click clacking down the hardwood steps. 

    she turns the tarnished silver doorknob, 

    and the door creaks open. 

     

    before her sits a man. 

  • too far to hold

    I catch a glimpse. 

    from afar, 

    the shine of his silky hair in the golden sunlight

    his expression unreadable, 

    as if he's pondering something he'd never tell a soul. 

  • watching him

    Kathy watched out her window as Samuel left his apartment, 

    spit his gum on the ground

    and lit his cigarette. 

    the same as yesterday. 

    the same as every day.
