Why?Why should I bother
Why?
Why should I bother why should I try
when the world around me doesn't see life through my eyes
the walk down the block, the calls I recieve
Life isn't hard for someone who is not me.
Stuck between two worlds, no where to turn
I relate to those who seem me as unrelatable, without unrelatibility
sickness consumes, messages distorted through the lense we recieve
sheltered by fear and uncomfortibility
surroundings are crumbling all around me,
life isn't hard for someone who is not me.
Then I see in one set of eyes that their world is mine
and for that I understand I am not condemned
to a place of darkness, rather I am the light
and with it I can bring those who are suffocating
out of their shelters, where they can shine bright.
That is why.
