Why should I

What could be more disheartening

than to fail those close to you

And to thus fail yourself-- watching success depart

 

No goal, no ambition

No passion, no itchin'

I know not who I am, to I

to others' outside my mind's eye

No longer a longing.

 

A world outside

One separate in

 

If they do not care

 

why should I
