Death

why do we bother with life
it's only for the beautiful and talented
why be optimistic 
happy ending only happen in fairytale
we only have one life but its constantly being destroyed
uncertain of the consequence
yet we still doing
optimism just gives false hope
that maybe things can change
but we are only humans we never will
some may try some may fail
but it all ends the same
we are not strong or brave enough to try
maybe someday we will succeeds 
but todays what counts
so instead of watching the planet slowly burn
we watch television and drink beer
killing ourselves slowly and painfully
but it dulls the hurt so we do it anyway
