Why is I’m this way?? (Poem)

  • NB: Well first off I have a new computer, one not falling apart and that works amazingly so back to writing!!
    Second, I was asked some questions today… I think good questions. But questions that make me wish I had answers.

    Why?

    I sit here wondering, thinking, pondering
    Just why is it I’m this way?

    How come I can do so many things…
    Then not so many the very next day?

    What makes me bang my head?
    What makes me cry in pain?

    What makes me want to run away?
    Hide for entire days?

    I just want answers… a why to explain,
    So I can overcome all this pain.

    A Why to give to people,
    To cure confusion made.

    I just want a Why…
    So I can know at last

    Is something wrong with me?
    Or was I made this way?
