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?
