What's The Purpose?


What’s the purpose of friendship? When you know your going to get backstabbed. What’s the purpose of trying to find love? When you know your heart will be left with a big gash. What’s the purpose of trying to fit in? When you know your going to end up hurt. What’s the purpose of trying to find silver and gold? When you are going to end up with dirt. What’s the purpose of being real? When nobody will like you for who you are. What’s the purpose of being famous? When you should already know that you’re a star. What’s the purpose of going out for the team? When you know that you’ll be benched the whole game. What’s the purpose of going to church? When more than half the people stay the same. What’s the purpose of making your parents proud? When later on the there smile will turn into a frown. What’s the purpose of trying to get a drug attic of drugs? When you know they are just going to turn you down. What’s the purpose of turning ghetto kids proper? When you know that they are not dales? What’s the purpose of trying to achieve life? When you know your going to fail.
