Why

written by: OurSacredHonor

All these expectations
Pile up on me
Deep laceration
On the inside of me
All this anticipation
What will become of me
Patient frustration
I'm forced to wait and see

I'll never be able to
Tell what the future holds
I guess that I will have to
Let it all unfold
I don't ever want
My story to be told
I just want to
Be happy when I grow old




Why
Do I
Cry
At night
Why
Do I
Lie
And fight
Why
Don't I
Just die
Tonight
Why
Won't it
Just be
All right
Why
You lie
I just
Don't know
Why
Don't I
Just let
You go
Why
Defy
The truth
I know
Why
Don't you
Just tell
Me so
Why
Am I
So hard
On me
Why
Can't I
Just let
Things be
Why
Can't I
Let me
Be me
Why
Do I
Not let
Me see
Why
Do I
Tell lies
To me
Why
Don't I
Just drown
At sea
Why
Do I
Need words
To say
Why
Can't I
Drive it
Away
Why
Do I
Still let
It stay
Why
Do I
Still feel
This way
Why
Do I
Retain
This pain
Why
Do I
Let it
Remain
Why
Don't I
Just go
Insane
Why
Does my
Head hurt
So much
Why
Do I
Seem out
Of touch
Why
Do I
Still need
A crutch
Why
Can't I
Just hold
Me up
Why
Am I
The one
To fail
Why
Can't I
Ever
Prevail
Why
Can't I
Rely
On you
Why
Can't I
Confide
In you
Why
Can't I
Ever
Trust you
Why
Can't I
Just not
Be wrong
Why
Can't I
Ever
Belong
Why
Can't I
Just leave
For home
Why
Am I
Always
Alone
Why
Can't you
Listen
To me
Why
Are you
Unable
To see
Why
Do I
Speak words
Unheard
Why
Do I
Feel I've
Been burned
Why
Do these
Answers
Evade
Why
Appease
A lie
Parade
Why
Don't these
Shadows
Fade
Why
Not cease
But try
In vain
Why
Put me
Through all
This pain
Why
These thoughts
That don't
Pertain
Why
Do you
Drive me
Insane
Why
Don't you
Just leave
My brain
Why
Do you
Still tease
And taunt
Why
This trap
In which
I'm caught
Why
Don't you
Just leave
My thoughts
Why
This pain
That you
Have wrought
