Why Do I Try?

Why do I try,

to see the bright side of things?

Telling myself, "You'll be fine."

"It's gonna be different this time."

 

It never is.

Why did I expect it to?

Nothing ever changes.

I shouldn't be so surprised.

 

 

Author's Note

A bit rough. I don't really like this one.
I had this on the end, but then I took it off, and then I put it back on, but changed my mind..again.
My emotions always turn out the same way.
"Why do you do this to yourself?"
My mother would say.
If only I could know the answer.

*ya, I think it sounds better without it, but opinions would be great! :)

It's good! It has a nice flow and rhythm to it. I think the stanza you removed was really nicely written, and I think you should tack it back on! Maybe change "If only I could know the answer" to, "If I only knew the answer."
