“Trying”

~ Jai Lynn

I’m walking
but my legs are shaking.

I’m smiling
but my heart is breaking.

I’m hanging
but my finger’s slipping.

I’m surviving
but that’s not living.

Name's Jai Lynn, Jai like blue jay and Lynn which rhymes with sin. Speaking of sins, life is too short to not do what you're passionate about. So, I'm going to write. Welcome to my domain of poetry, short fiction, and (if you look for it) a little magic too.
