why fight when no ones on your side? why stand when they just want me to sit?
why try when nobody else does for me?
why do i try so hard when no one tries even half as hard for me?
why explain myself when nobody listens?
why do i try to please everybody when no one thinks about pleasing me?
why think about the future when it looks so sad, and dark?
why do i stress while everyone is happy?
why do i cry while everyone smiles/
?
why does the world push me down whenever i am able to get up?
why keep trying when it doesnt feel like they are trying?
why do i even try to be happy when everything wants me to be sad.
why?
