Why Me

How many times do you ask "why me"
Throughout your daily life?
How many times have you been blind and couldn't see
The happy times instead of stife?

I know those times are very rare
When your life is going well
There are those times when you really care
And you picked yourself up when you fell

Its been so hard to do sometimes
But you did it anyway
You put away those awful crimes
That had you going astray

Your proud to be who you are
And you've changed your ways for the good
Don't turn back now you've come this far
Hang on to it if you could

So keep on keeping on for you
And don't ask "why me" anymore
Forget the things that make you blue
And let others have that chore

Because life is too short to never reach
Beyond the weariness
Be loving, be kind and try to teach
Beyond the dreariness
