WHY?

LMM 1988 (Batangas)

October 23 


                                   
                                         WHY?

I chose not to talk to anyone
Finding the answer to my Why
Cry so hard at night
Thinking when it will be over

I chose to be alone
Thinking where to go or just to disappear
Just lying on my bed the whole day
Asking what do I do to forget

You left me behind
On the time I need you the most
While I chose to be there
On your darkest time

Still can't find the answers to my WHY
       Why is this happening?
       Why do I have to go to forget?
       Why do I keep searching for a purpose?
       Why do I long to get over it?

And here I am...
       Drowning on my own sorrow
        

About this poem

I wrote this poem when I was broken hearted. I wrote this the day before I tried to suicide but thanks to God he still gave me a chance to live in this world. I called it a miracle.
