Why bother

Why bother complaining when nobody listens?
Why bother speaking when nobody cares?

Who's there to help you when we're all too busy?
Why bother speaking when nobody hears?

Why bother trying when no one can help you?
Why bother advising when nothing will change?

We live in a world of lethargy and apathy.
We live in a world where the quiet are the key

The key to keeping the status quo
A poem I wrote back when I was really depressed, and even more misanthropic than I am now, even.

I really have no words to say but glowing ones. This is short and written for maximum impact and it definitely delivers. It's a very real discription of how things are in life for people in the outskirts of society and for people that are looked over.

Reading this really hit me in the heart and I can feel the emotion that you poured into this. As someone who also struggles with depression I was really able to connect with the message. For me this is a work that I will remember for a long time.

I think that this piece will definitely connect to all sorts of readers no matter where in life they come from because at one point or another everyone feels like this.
