I Try Too Hard
Peter Gullerud
I try
I try
I try and
try.
I cry only once
but it's true
I cry.
Rococo Jesus Rococo?
My style too styled?
They want less thought
Subjects more mild.
My story is a dark one
It is all 'she wrote'
I think it is something
That should make them take note.
It isn't a goth
With hair o'er one eye
It isn't shock art
A formula "buy". (*Sigh*)
It's not a Mark Ryden
He did that too well
It isn't a rip off
Too easy to sell.
Try to be original.
I do
I do
Yes, think back,
I still do.
Work too hard
Just being myself
I end up
PAper airPlanEd
Trier
On shelf.
I may try again
Please give me a year ~
Time enough to wipe
Away their fear.
REVOLUTION!
I try too hard.
