Why Bother
It only takes hard work to succeed,
But why bother if you won’t.
It only takes a moment to dream,
But why bother if you can’t achieve.
It only takes a heartbeat to love,
But why bother if you can’t find love.
It only takes tears to drown in sorrow,
But why bother if you won’t feel.
It only takes forever to find happiness,
But why bother if you can drink.
These are words I speak,
In my mind I try to break free—
But reality is a cruel mistress.
Why bother to try at all
When the world’s stacked against you,
With overinflated price tags
And mountains of debt to pay.
It’s a shitty world.
All poems end with great speeches,
But I am speechless about speeches.
Still, stubborn, I say:
Why bother to despair at all
When you have whiskey
And the air in your lungs to try again.
