I find motivation
To be an important yet confusing
Asset of our lives.
Why should I keep flying?
Why should I fight back?
Why should I stab my friends?
Why should I do this assignment?
Why should I keep writing?
Why should I get up?
Why should I live?
Why should I write another poem mindlessly rambling about life?
For some reason
All these questions
Seem connected to me
In some way.

When you are sick
Physically or mentally
You tend to lose motivation.
You want to procrastinate.
You don't want to get up.
Sometimes,
You want to fall asleep
And never wake up
So you don't have to deal
With the troubles of tomorrow.
Sometimes
You just have to force yourself
To do it
Because after you do
The satisfaction
Is always worth it.
Perhaps I should tell xXderpy_merpXx that.

Sometimes
You have to create
A motivation.
I have friends on Wattpad
And they are waiting
For me to come back
To be there
Even if just making a joke
About pineapple pizza.

Woah
Where did that come from?
Sometimes
Our mind speaks
While our mouth doesn't.

Why does one lose
Their motivation?
I know
There are many reasons
That could steal someone
Of their will to keep going.
Sometimes it's the feeling
Like the result will never be good
So why try?
Sometimes it's tiredness
Like one does not want to do something
Because it drains them
And they would rather save their energy
For something else.

Motivation comes and goes
Kind of like Derpy
Or like episodes
Of emotion
Where one lashes out
Or breaks down
Or gives up

Either way
It sucks.
The episodes of self-hate
Of perfectionism
Of negativity
Of anxiety
Of fear and loneliness
And every other negative emotion
Out there.

But motivation
Has other forms.
I believe
That every bad person
Every villain
Has to have a motivation
For what they do.
Every person
Needs a motivation
For anything at all.
So what's my motivation
To exist?
What motivation do we have
To grow
Into a future
With little hope
Of having any worth?

It's always important
To find people
That motivate you.
And remember
There is someone
That you motivate
To keep going
So don't give up
And make them lose their motivation.
Why
Am I being a hypocrite?

Motivation helps you thrive.
Hold on to it.
Please.
