Why should I cry for,
the thing which was never mine.
Why should I look for,
the star which never shines.
Why should I speak for,
those who never listen to me.
Why should I make others laugh,
for they laugh at me.
Why should I think about others,
for they are so selfish.
Why should I change myself,
for the world isn't changing.
Why should I love someone,
for its full of hatred.
Why should i loose,
when i know I can win.
Why shouldn't I try and succeed,
for those who did,became immortals.

I like it, and even if it isn't one of those overlooked pieces (it won bronze) it fits into what I was looking for... It's one of those pieces that are written straight from your thoughts, it's really good =)
Thanks for entering and good luck! =) -
