Striving

im striving
to be a man slow to speak and quick to listen
im striving
to be a man of soft words rather than rash ones
im striving
to never say "i cant" or "i quit"
im striving
to be a man who you can trust
im striving
to be a man you can believe in
im striving
to pay the cost i can never repay
im striving
to live pure in an impure world
im striving
to die so i can truely live
im striving im striving
to love you when you dont love me
im striving
to stay when i see no reason to
im striving im striving
to live like i know i should
im striving
to win the game we all secretly play
im striving im striving....
