Poem
What is the purpose, of lying to yourself when it's eating you up inside, What is the purpose, of running to hide as if you could never be found, What is the purpose, of pretending not to care when the most important person, you're hurting is you What is the purpose, I'm asking you What is the purpose, of yourself trying to change another, when what you have concealed is secret to many others What is the purpose, of a lover, whom with you share your bed or maybe just a phone call, you can't get out of your head What is the purpose, of having direct TV when you can't, even afford your dire necessities, What is the purpose, of a car note you can't afford to keep, when your cabinets, stay closed and your refrigerator's always empty, What is the purpose, of two dollar gasoline only to last a short while, and spike up again only worst than before, until we're all riding bikes and used skateboards, What is this purpose, I'm asking you What is the purpose, of extending your bills until a later date, when you don't even know if you're be able to pay, What is the purpose, of borrowing money you know you can't pay back, maybe it's to feed your hungry child or to put clothes on his or her back, What is the purpose, of drowning yourself in alcohol just trying to ease the pain, you should know that when you sober up again, nothing will have changed What is the purpose, I'm asking you What is the purpose, of asking for help when friends have, closed their doors the looks, the stares, the comments and glares the questions and quotes, calculations and jokes then, denied, let down, ruled out, close round, but never ever a score What is the purpose, of the world we live in one side is joy, and the other is pain and many times, your biggest loss is another persons gain What is the purpose, of holding a job when you're barely, making ends meat When you can't, even go out for dinner or take your child to a movie, What is the purpose, of being alone to handle, all this world has thrown What is the purpose, of defending yourself when you only, made things worse and the police, that you called was no help at all, and... you're much worse off than before, What is the purpose, of playing by the rules when you only end up getting burned, you render good for evil and love for hate and still nothing seems to have turned, What is the purpose, I'm asking you this purpose we have... in... this.... life.....
