Why Try
Why try to love,
When all I get is pain,
Pain for being human,
For loving another,
Another that doesn’t love me.
Why try to forget,
When I can never forget,
Everything haunts and taunts me,
Throwing me back into a blackhole,
Of hurt and tears.
Why try to live,
When in the end I will recieve death,
No matter how much I deny it,
And try to be happy,
For absolutely nothing.
Why try to succeed,
When I know I will fail,
Even when I keep a good mindset,
Thinking I can do it,
Just to be rejected and pushed back.
Why try to love,
Why try to forget,
Why try to live,
Why try to succeed,
I have no answer.
