Nothing changes.

Perhaps I can make it
I think with despair
Just perhaps I can do it
If I try hard enough

But no matter how hard I try
Why are all things still the same?
Day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute
and moment by moment?
Why does nothing ever change?

Why do my tears continue
To create a dirty streak
Below my sunken and lost gaze?
Why does my smile
Seem a thing of the past
Lost beneath the grooved
Lines of a tired expressions?

And though I try
My breath seems lost within my chest
And though I struggle
My efforts are in vain

For all things continue just as before
And there is no more hope,
No joy, no way to find the peace
That I so desperately yearn for...
Day by day, hour by hour,
Minute by minute and
moment by moment.
