Why?

A personal poem

The fights are getting worse

The nights are getting longer

I'm getting tired, I sit and I wonder

Why am I this way?

Why am I such a bully?

To hurt the one I love, but not very fully

Do I love him? Do I love him not?

Why do I wonder? is it because he loves me not?

Why do I doubt?

Why do I cry?

Waking up in the middle of the night, I ask myself why?

Why are you awake?

Why are you so sad?

Did you take your medicine?

Why all of a sudden you are mad?

Don't wake him up, let him sleep

Why do you target him? leave him be

I look inside the mirror at someone I used to know

She looks like me, talks like me, I just don't know

When did I get this broken?

How could I let it happen?

Why do I take it out on him?

I look at her in the mirror unfamiliar, unhappy

What happened to her to make her so blue?

The girl in the mirror bows her head in shame

Because she knew

A soft voice in my memory echoes his name

The name of the one who started it all

The real reason for my pain

So many why's in life indeed. We all experience them at times. It seems someone is in a deep struggle and it's becoming a heavy weight to bear indeed.
