why fight


Everyone is fighting

But no one really winning

There is no end in sight

Because all they do is fight

People want it to end

However, they can’t just be friends

They just need to be right

But all they do is fight

 

The worst is yet to come

The “fun” has not begun 

The lines are yet to be drawn

But of course no one is wrong

No one comprehending

Everyone reacting

They continue to fight 

Thinking they are right

Fighting till they are weary

Things are getting bleary

Wearing them down mentally,

Physically, emotionally, and spiritually

Why can’t it just end

Why can’t they be friends

 

They don’t have a clue

No idea what to do

There is no end in sight 

because all the do is fight

When will they realize 

Or will it be their demise

Will they be destroyed

Emotions completely devoid

Dead on the inside 

Barely living on the outside

No clue what they’re doing

Just barely surviving

 

It will never end 

they can never be friends

Their lives are completely ruined 

Everyone is stunned

The end is in sight

The end of a life

They can’t take it anymore

Life has become a massive bore

They start to tie the noose 

Not able to handle the abuse

All because it could not end 

Now everyone has lost a friend
