I tried

I tried to write a poem
But my clumsy words
Hardly made any sense

I tried to compose a tune
But my hands just shook
Missed a beat on guitar

I tried to write an email
But made grammar error
On the subject line itself

I tried to paint a picture
But my brush fell down
And blotched all colours

I tried to win your smile
But all I got was tears
For solace in the dark

But yes I had tried
In an attempt to live
I survived my errors
