i don't know why
i'm still awake
or why i even care
i don't know why
i struggle to
keep my eyes open
rather than succumb
to the dream world

i don't know why
i keep trying
to be something i'm not
i don't know why
i keep wanting
things i can't have

i don't know why
this world makes me tired
why sometimes every step
feels like a struggle
and i don't know why
i keep letting myself hurt
rather than ease the pain
and let it go
