Why
Why, when I walk forward, do I keep looking behind? Is that because I am looking for something I will never find?
Why, when I am happy, my happiness never last? Is it because I’m not living in the future but stuck in the sadness of my past
Why, when I find someone to love, with someone I hold so dear, do I push them away because of rejection and fear
Why, when a loved one reaches out to me, do I reject them once again? Is it because of my childhood memories and the ones that caused me pain
Why, when I try to tell you about it I don’t know what to say, so I just suffered in silence with the hope the memories would fade away
Why did you scare and hurt me as a child when I was too young to fight ?
You knew what you were doing and that it was not right
Why did you choose me and get inside my head was it that I was young or was it something I said
Why must I live my life in fear and in pain with the constant feeling that it is going to happen again
Why did you deny it and say that I told a lie? You have got away with it, but I will carry the pain with me until I eventually die
