Sadness and a Question

Why does the sadness always return 
An annoying voice in my head
Always telling me that I'm not good enough and never will be
Always telling me that I'm just another ant living in the ant-hill
No one will notice if I'm gone
No one will care

And I always let the sadness fill me with an ocean of tears
I always give in to the pain, the hurt
I always let it twist my organs into knots that can't be untied

Why aren't I strong enough to stop this monster I call my emotions?
Why do I always let it get to me?
Why can't I control my own fears, my own thoughts, my own body?
Why can't I control myself?

And as the sadness racks my brain for any possible sign of happiness
Trying to destroy it
I continue to ask myself;
Why?

But
As you may have guessed
The sadness never let's me answer
My own question
