So Tired

For who, and why, do I try? When I, I am so very tired. I am so very tired of weary skies, As if waiting for unruly demise. For what, and why, must I climb? Climb, climb, climb These rocks tremble underneath my feet, I'll fall at the gentle push of another heartbeat. For what, and why, do I fight? Sacrifices; fallen brothers; social battlefields Closer than blood, Further apart than Mars and Venus On whose time, under whose rule, do I live? Confined to the ideas of social medias, Free to pick the poison of an everyday routine. A perfectly packaged failure off assembly line. So for who, and why, do I try? Isolated mind; lost in seas of many When I, I am so very tired. Tell me why, why I try, I will obtain the the answer, to who am I. But now I rest; I am so very tired.
