Why bother?
Zion McKean Feb 2016
Why bother?
Why bother trying?
Why bother looking nice or wearing nice clothes or doing nice thing?
Why bother?
Why bother getting an education?
Why bother trying to make a difference in this world?
Why bother getting married or even impressing that boy who's been staring at you the past hour?
Why bother?
Why bother eating or drinking?
Why bother even pondering the thought of survival?
I don't know about you but as for me I want nothing to do with this conveyor belt that we call life.
One that ends with everyone reduced to nothing but bones in the dirt or dust in the wind.
So again why bother?
Because this inevitability cannot be cheated nor escaped.
Every breath that you've ever taken, or thought you've ever had means nothing to the never ending void that is life.
So I'll ask you again.
Why Bother?
Why bother
   If there's no reason to continue
Why bother
   When everything isn't as it seems
Why bother
   If she has already said no
Why bother
   When nothing has gone your way
Why bother
   If no matter what this is how it is
Why bother
   When everything crumbles
Why bother
   If you follow your heart
Why bother
   When you can't help it
Why bother
   If you fall in love
Why bother
   When it's already been done
Why bother
   With these thoughts
Because
   They were always in my head
I bothered
   Myself because they felt right
