When To Try

Broken smiles

  on blank faces

Hollowed hearts

  now empty spaces

To some it's Karma

   to others it's fate

Heal with love

  those sick with hate

Open arms

    spread far and wide

Help the ones

    who've died inside

What once were dreams

    now pieces shattered

Such is life

    for the torn and tattered

When exhausted efforts

    are in need of rest

May determination

    be at its best

Its never too late

    to try again

Time is just

    a form of when

You could almost break this up into stanzas, I think it would make it more deliberate.
