Disappointment
Fatigue
A loss of interest
A lack of care

Sometimes I wonder
Why try?
Nothing ever works.
Nothing ever changes.

I try and try.
We try and try.
They try and try.
You try and try.

What's the point?
Why should I try,
When all I do is fail?
Why bother?

All this effort.
All this work.
All the time.
Why bother?

Why bother?
Why try?
What's the point?
There isn't one.

My efforts are wasted.
Our efforts are wasted.
Why do we try?
We shouldn't.

We do.
We try.
We keep trying.
But why?
