Questions

By qrt_inch

Why can't I be happy?
What did I do?
Why won't the pain stop?
Why don't my dreams come true?

How come I was born?
Is my purpose to suffer?
In my heart I always mourn,
Life only makes me tougher.

Why am I here?
Where am I going?
The picture seems clear,
Pain is bestowing.

Why am I the one that hurts?
Though I did nothing wrong.
I was an innocent child,
Unvoluntarily forced to be strong.

They say the future holds wonderful things,
Filled with hope and the promise of love.
I say the future only more pain brings,
For all the standards, you'll just fall short of.

Why can't I be happy?
What did I do?
Why is this world so crappie?
If only we all knew.
