Trying My Best

I looked in the mirror, what did I see?

Someone who tried, but not enough, it seems.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't do it all,"

I say with a sigh, feeling small.

..

I did my best, I gave my try,

But sometimes, my efforts fell shy.

I aimed to soar, to reach up high,

But sometimes, couldn't touch the sky.

..

Mistakes were made, along the way,

But from each one, I learned to stay.

Every stumble, every fall,

I tried to stand, despite it all.

..

So here I am, with a simple plea,

Please understand and forgive me.

I might not be perfect, as you see,

But know, I tried my best, truly.
