Give me a reason - Why?
These thoughts are killing meAm I supposed to live or die,
Just give me a reason why.
Walking alone, following shadows in the jungle,
Wanting to cut ties with this terrifying world
Praying for the stars and the moon to stop shining
I can’t stand looking at these shadows any longer.
Why did you leave? What made me stay?
What remains of you after all you had and believed in is gone?
I'm attempting to put my thoughts into words.
Because if I get to understand the reasons why,
I will be able stop asking why…
Why can’t I find happiness?
Why was I born this way?
I'm wandering in circles; I've lost my way.
After so many years,
I had trusted the world - I believed that things would change.
But every time I get back to the start
Never reaching a peaceful place.
I see the world laughing,
Why can’t I be the same?
Anger, frustration, sadness…
I will never be like them.
Why did I think this wouldn't happen to me again?
Why didn't I see that this would come back to haunt me?
Why did I have faith in life again?
All the dreams have been shattered
I am no longer the same
It annihilated the life that remained.
And I will continue to ask why?
....
Am I supposed to live or die,
Just give me a reason why.
