I Try

I try to do the right thing
I try for happiness to bring
I try to put a smile on faces
I try this across many places
I try to help all I can
I try again and again
I try always to do good
I try like we all should
I try to keep my chin up
I try not to cause a fuss
I try to keep myself in check
I try not my temper to get
I try to be brave in adversity
I try not to believe in negativity
I try to have faith in myself
I try not to follow the path of hell
I try to be strong in hope
I try to in life’s problems cope
I try to stay true to the road
I try not to carry too much of a load
I try to help and listen
I try to keep my eyes dry not to glisten
I try to be strong everyday
I try not to be weak on this path laid
I try all I can to stay true
I try not to let myself anger from you
I try to lead a just life
I try not to let my feelings hide
I try but buried are they always
Forever I try till my end of days

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life. I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones. Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible. My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love. I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
