Analysis of Why



Life is not fair
At times you will be tested
You will ask WHY
I have come to learn
That there is no answer
Only cliches to soothe us a little faster
As we grasp on to what we may
We cling to those to soften the disaster
And again we ask WHY¿?
Left in confusion, emotions all at once, not taking their turn,
Crippled by grief we beg for relief, there is none in sight. Our mind is in a maze trying to find a way out, our confidence betrayed....left in doubt. So again we ask WHY
I try to understand & often try, but never an answer for the word WHY. I wonder how can I face another day, WHY am I here anyway? What is the purpose? It seems so mundane, so much to handle, am I going insane? When will this end? I will recover, on this I depend. But the one thing that will remain, I still won't have an answer to the WHY?

Vivian Timmins

 · 1955 · California

Lost my son when he was 22. My daughter is wicked & hateful. I cut her from my life. I live in novato california, it's a very hard time to be left alone. My pain& anger is a lot of what I write, to vent, this way I avoid confrentation which leads to no where. Not when dealing with people that do not know how to communicate and are not concerned about you, only concerned with themselves and the outcome they want at that given moment. Selfish, self centered, too immature to take responsibility for their actions. On paper I write what I'm feeling and there are no reprocussions for saying how I see it or feel it & the numbskulls just keep going round and round with their lack of ability to handle situations calmly and move past their limited thinking. As for me, I like to listen, I like to grow, be open to what's outside the box and not be ignorant. In this world we live in, there is no excuse for ignorance. We are in the information age. more…
