How do you go on,
When nobody else does?
Do you sink down low with them?
Do you refuse to go any further?
Why do you try so hard,
When nobody else does?
Are you trying to prove yourself?
Are you pushing yourself to do more?
Why do you waste your time,
Only to do nothing productive?
Don't you want to be somewhere else?
Don't you have other things to do?
What are you trying to say,
Even if no one will listen?
Are you trying to help them?
Are you trying to help yourself?
How do you come together,
Even after all you've been through?
How does it work out in the end?
How do you manage to win?
~a.k.
