this world is no place for me
what difference does it make
if i go to school tommorow
if i get good sleep tonight
will it effect my future
what does it hold for me
some job, proffession, retirement
death
could
be
seconds
away
what difference does it make
if I am a lawyer, or a teacher
a police man, or a killer
maybe i dont care what happens
so why try in life,
why live for death
i am being shaped by the world around me

why sleep tonight......
why wake tommorow.......
what difference will it make
this is what has become of me

This is what also has become of me.  I really identify with this poem right now, but I'm slowly learning to make things meaningful in my life again.  Great poem!

hmm let me see....What difference does it make? It makes the difference of doing something with the little bit of time we have on this planet. It is about goals and dreams and purpose. If life were supposed to be one big party, why do we have brains? We must use them to explore and enjoy and discover. Without learning we are nothing.

I have felt this way on many occasions Perhaps you are right.  But this is a thing of many sides. I wont try to argue that the world is a good place. Its not at any rate.  But nothing says we must suffer through it.  I hate to remind myself of this little truism, but life is what you make it.   Love or hate, sorrow or joy.  So don’t go through life miserable, there is always a way out.  Life is yours, but you must grip it with both hands.  And as for  school, grit you teeth and give the system hell!
