Given up

There comes a time
when you finally let go
lie in the bed they made you
not doing anything
or complying
you just want to follow
the involuntary flow

What is the use is in this?
what is the use in me?
in it and in us?
stop moving your lips
Shut Up
inside and outside
stop trying to fight
its not worth your beautiful screams
it is life
it is neverending

let it go
soak it in
all the words
and defence
nobody is listening
nobody cares

why should you?
when you've been beaten down
for so long
so so long
let it go and suck it up
like the breaking of the warming dawn

its my time
stop fighting
this is life
yelling at a def public
just doesnt feel right
i give up
i surrender
