Why bother ?

why bother, why try

sit here explore a language and begin to type,

making no difference to millions of beings

to sit in solitude to remain unseen.

Hopes of forming lines that can be construed as

Philosophy, desperate hopes that all cry out "notice me".

we all know a whisper in the dark is always lost without a spark

so if seclusion safely silences works that many produce.

Why bother speaking out, tie your knot, and rest in the noose...

Freedom is the drive behind the creative mind,

to paint yourself a different shade than the rest,

to recognise that we are colours ourselves,

all different from red to blue but all just as glorious,

as me and you.

 

expression makes a being human, a beast a man.

creativity swallows existence and secretes life

Individuality, it is not just what separates you from the rest,

but what makes every last person their own colour

Why bother? so you can sit on the spectrum, and smile.

Author's Note

the difference between being creative and being lost is a fine line. I think everyone realises that to differentiate themselves creativity offers the best way towards that and that's why many write to be different.
