There Is No Point
What's the point in continuing to try,
when you already know you will fail
and then sit silently and cry.
What's the point of doing what is right,
when you know before you start
that you will lose the fight.
What's the point of talking when no one will listen,
there is no point in spending time
trying to find what your life is missing.
What's the point of waking up everyday,
when you already know that for someone
else's mistakes you will have to pay.
What's the point of climbing brick walls,
when you already know each time that you
try you are going to fall.
What's the point of never letting them put you down,
when you already know your name is one
that will never be on a golden crown.
What's the point of helping and showing that you care,
when you already know that when you need help
there won't be anyone there.
What's the point of hanging on and never letting go,
when you already know that you will ultimately
end up lonely and alone.
