Just because

We all die and nothing matters:
there’s no morning to begin
a brand new day to strive for better,
to rise above,
or stay within.

We all live, but does it matter?
Down in tears,
high on pride.
Now the former, then the latter:
playing ping-pong with both sides.

We all dream and long, and suffer
in the pursuit of a cause
that will make our “What for” matter,
but it doesn’t.
Just because.
