• trying to lose weight (and failing)
• trying to work out more (and failing)
• trying to improve my stroke (and going unnoticed)
• trying to make friends (and being ignored)
• trying to study hard (and lacking time)
• trying to get enough sleep (and failing)
• trying to have a life (hardly even on the list anymore)
• trying to avoid mediocracy (hardly working)
• wanting to be extraordinary at something (and failing)

would it be okay? would it be okay if i took your breath away?
