Why

Why

Why did my mind lock such a door?
The person within wants out!
Why do I never let anyone in?
Why is my mind full of doubt?

Why was I ever granted birth
If I was destined to turn out this way?
Why do the tears I feel inside
Never come to the surface to stay?

Why do I even take time to draw breath
If my life is so desperately wrong?
Why do I even continue to try
If I never succeed to be strong?

Why can't I ever say what I mean
No matter what might befall?
Why do I always cower and bow
When I could stand straight and tall?

Why do I always question the things
That make up the person inside?
Why is the person I appear to be
So different from the person I hide?
