Is it worth it?

To cry over spilled milk

To drop everything -- all the hard work that you've done

Just because someONE told you it was crap

To stop walking towards your dreams

Because someONE said it was impossible

To stop trying

In fear of rejection

In fear of failure

To half-ass assignments and assessments

Thinking you'll keep getting more chances in the future

Thinking those opportunities will ALWAYS be there

To let yourself be put down 

So others can be happier

To let others make you feel lesser than you are

Just so they can feel better about themselves

To barricade yourself from new experiences

Because the past has scarred you deeper than anything else

Or so you thought?

And...

To stop caring for those 

Who were there for you all along

To give up hope on miracles that never even started

To give up on friendships that could've lasted a lifetime

To let go before others did

In order to avoid the pain that could or could've never happened

To hold back on giving happiness

Constantly wondering whether it may or may not come back

To waste time pointing out the people you hate

Whether than pointing out people you love

To forget those small moments of joy

Because those dark clouds of depression and anger blocked them out

Contemplating on the existence 

Of ones self and of others

What our purpose is in life -- What YOUR purpose is in life 

What his - her - its purpose in life is

And to think

A life with too much thinking and not enough doing

And in the end 

Was it worth it?
