Connection

There is no connection

I do try; no one can say that I don’t

But when I do try

All I get is fuzziness and black and white lines

The picture is never clear

There’s something not right

The picture is neither dull or bright

I’ve tried everything

Changing the way I do it

The way I go about it

It doesn’t seem to matter what I do

As nothing ever changes

I still can’t make the connection

But don’t worry I’ll never give up

I’ll keep trying until I connect

You know me; I never give up without a fight

I will do everything I can, to make that picture right

In the end I will have a connection
