Why? / by Andrew Diaz

Why can't I just be happy?

Why do I always fall?

Why does this cloud appear to cover my light?

Why do I constantly have to get up and continue to fight?

This is hard to feel

No reason

No will

Next to my bed

Pills pills pills

I’ve come far this is true

I have a bright future

My kids

My loves

Always love them

Always I will

Now I have to go and fight some more

Or else I'll cry

I'll fall to the floor

I just want answers

To know i’ll be ok

So please understand

I don't know why I feel this way

Like the wind that blows this way then that way

I am strong

Remember that drew

Remember

Just you

Be

You
