Reasons
Today we must justify everything that we do, Every move, every step that we take.
Everything we do must have a reason,
Reasons for the choices we make.
I must have a reason to get out of bed
I must have a reason for the thoughts in my head.
I must have a reason for the way that I feel,
I must have a reason for the skipping of meals.
I\'m too tired to move, I can\'t sleep at night.
I\'ve got nothing to lose, for I\'m losing sight.
I\'m not hungry or full, just empty inside.
These reasons I have, do not qualify.
You must come to work, you cannot be late.
You must eat all of the food on your plate.
\"It\'s just a bad day\", \"get a grip and move on\",
My reasons aren\'t valid? I must \"carry on\".
All of these things become other reasons,
They\'ve become the reason I\'m late.
Why go to work or go anywhere at all
When I can\'t even concentrate?
Why eat the food to fill up my stomach,
When I\'m not even hungry a bit?
It won\'t fill the hole, deep in my soul,
Where my pain is a bottomless pit.
I can\'t justify all the times that I cry,
because my reasons don\'t really exist.
