Worth

Life is simple, life is unique
You're born, you live, you die
What you feel, what you think
Even all you do is dry
 
Dry, in this sense, is not meaningless
But, rather unchanging, and hard
Your life is special, your life is full
But, what fills it can only be described as scarred
 
Life has opportunity, both good and bad
It is eventful, meaningful, and simply complex
But worth, or value, is the question here
My question to you, my thought, my hex
 
What is your life worth to you?
What does your life hold in store for you too?
How are you living? How will you die?
In battle, life and death will always end true.
 
Death will win the war you wage
Day after day you sit there in comfort
Never concerning, never wondering
What will be waiting at the end of this concert?
 
Do you have a reason to sit through this song?
A reason to bear the horrors that come.
Something or someone to hold you here.
Do you have a reason not to succumb?
 
Give me a reason to torture myself!
Give me a thought to cover the pain!
Give me someone to comfort my sorrow!
Show me the world where blood shall rain.
 
Where death and life are evenly matched.
Where good things are there to outweigh the bad.
Where music shall ring in the life of tomorrow.
And tomorrow hath no end, no rest to be had
 
We all have a reason, we all have our stay
We all share the same fate, from death to birth
Ask yourself this, friend. One simple thing:
Why are you here? What stays you on Earth?
