I tried childhood
I tried growing up
I tried to wise up
I tried falling
I tried learning
I tried getting high
I tried death but came back alive
I tried working for a dying
I tried sleeping for a living
I tried fighting for my rights
I tried messing up all my life
I tried to drink
I tried to think
I tried loving but she kept crying
I tried silence
I tried noise
I tried science
To hear Nature’s voice
I tried killing with kindness
I tried creating with hatred
I tried walking
I tried running
I tried smiling
I tried greening
I tried making money
I tried to be sweet as honey
I tried the Good mixed with some evil
I tried just about anything that exist
I tried again and again and again...
So... why did you give me such a miserable life?

And God watched him in his eyes and said:

- Because you spent your life trying.
