I know not why

I tried and I tried
I struggled and I pressed
I pushed and I pulled
I mulled and I pondered
I wandered and I wavered
I fought and I cried
I begged and I prayed…
Not for love,
Not for life
Not for glory, nor honour
Not for a moments fleeting meeting with my lover
Not for forgiveness, nor for pleasure
Not for the world,
Not for you, Nor I

And yet,
I tried and I tried
I struggled and I pressed
I pushed and I pulled
I mulled and I pondered
I wandered and I wavered
I fought and I cried
I begged and I prayed…
I stopped never
For what I understood never
For what I was told never

And yet,
I tried and I tried
I struggled and I pressed
I pushed and I pulled
I mulled and I pondered
I wandered and I wavered
I fought and I cried
I begged and I prayed…
I stood tall and strong
I loved with all my might
I learnt loyalty, I practised
But every night, I sit alone
With tears falling from my eyes

And yet,
I tried and I tried
I struggled and I pressed
I pushed and I pulled
I mulled and I pondered
I wandered and I wavered
I fought and I cried
I begged and I prayed…
Now even though alone,
I refuse to bow down to betrayal
I refuse to learn to lie
I refuse to be scarred by the world cruel
I refuse to disbelieve in mankind’s soul
But every now and then,
I look around in quiet desperation
For eyes wiser, who’ll be my answer
And lead my spirit to restoration

And yet,
I tried and I tried
I struggled and I pressed
I pushed and I pulled
I mulled and I pondered
I wandered and I wavered
I fought and I cried
I begged and I prayed…
Seeking, hoping, wishing,
In lonesome battle,
I still know not why
