What's the point in living?
What's the point of being successful?
What's the point of just being happy?
What's the point of trying to be better,
Trying to get better,
And yet still not being good enough?
What's the point of living the way we do
And dwelling on the small things in life, or the large ones,
And just living life as there is a tomorrow?
What's the point?
~~~
Honestly, there is no point.
People go all their lives trying to be successful,
Trying to live life without worries of money and everything and yet they don't succeed.
They go day by day and it's so horrible.
They wish and they plead to live life without all of these worries but does it happen?
No.
People are always going to be pushed down through all of these worries and everything and just so much stress that,
In the end,
It kills them.
So answer me honestly when I ask what's the point.
There's a sky full of stars and if we actually looked at it and thought about how little and insignificant we are in this life,
You can see that there is no point.
I always think about it like that,
It's like everyone has just masks over their eyes,
They don't realize all the wrong in this world,
All the horrible stuff caused by these people.
Everyone is just oblivious.
Honestly, is there anything anyone can do?
People can have all these rules and laws to make people do a certain, specific way,
But there will always be someone who won't listen,
To go against it all and say that they should be able to do what they want,
To be able to live in a free society.
So nobody can do anything.
And everyone is just a little insignificant person trying to lived in this twisted, messed up planet.
There are people starving and dying and then there are those that eat too much for their own good.
So, life is confusing.
It's easy to think there's so many people here,
So why do we each individually matter?
