You live, you love, you survive.

  • I beat my head against the keyboard, insides squirming, trying to dredge my homework from the liquid abyss that is my bear-trap of a mind..

You live, you love, you survive.

Why bother to try when what's done is done?
Why bother to change what fate has written?
Why bother to dream when the nightmares rule?
Why bother to awake when you want to sleep?
Why bother to dance when your legs are broken?
Why bother to fight when you are nothing but weak?
Why bother to weep when you are dying of thirst?
Why bother to eat when you are dying of hunger?
Why bother to speak when no one will listen?
Why bother to listen when no one will speak?
Why bother to cut when the pain subsides?
Why bother to jump when you do not know if you will die?
Why bother to breath if it hurts to live?
Why bother to die if it hurts when you try?
Why bother to exist if no one wants you?
Why bother to love if no one loves you back?

You bother to try because what done is not done.
You bother to change because you can erase what is written.
You bother to dream because nightmares fade.
You bother to awake because you cannot sleep forever.
You bother to dance because what is broken will heal.
You bother to fight because you can grow stronger.
You bother to weep because tears can be drunk.
You bother to eat because you need to fill up.
You bother to speak because all voices are heard.
You bother to listen because you can understand.
You bother to cut because it makes you alive.
You bother to jump because whatever does not kill makes you stronger.
You bother to breath because you know life will move on.
You bother to die because no one lives forever.
You bother to exist because someone will always want you.
You bother to love because someone will always love you.

Someone will try because they want to help.
Someone will change because they want to try.
Someone will dream because they know they can do it.
Someone will awake because they need to do it.
Someone will dance because they wish to fly.
Someone will fight because they believe all hope is never lost.
Someone will weep because they need to let the world know.
Someone will eat because they need to survive.
Someone will speak because they want to be heard.
Someone will listen because they know others do to them.
Someone will cut because they feel all alone.
Someone will jump because they just want to go home.
Someone will breath because they can not let anyone down.
Someone will die because they know it's their time.
Someone will exist because they are wanted.
Someone will love because they know that is what is needed.

I will always bother to try because I will never give up.
I will always bother to change because it is for the better.
I will always bother to dream because that is what will make me fly.
I will always bother to awake because there is work to be done.
I will always bother to dance because it is my passion.
I will always bother to fight because my will is strong.
I will always bother to weep because my heart knows what is wrong.
I will always bother to eat because my body needs to feed my mind.
I will always bother to speak because my voice must be heard.
I will always bother to listen because that is the key.
I will always bother to cut because the pain lets me know I'm alive.
I will always bother to jump because that will make me stronger.
I will always bother to breath because my heart would break others.
I will always bother to die because that will be my time.
I will always bother to exist because my self is wanted.
I will always bother to love because I know what is needed, and a heart cannot go for long without love before it begins to think, "Why bother?".

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
