Why?
Why do I always
have to attempt things twice
always get there last
Why am I always embarrassed
wanting to disappear
when I do something wrong
Why am I scared
to speak what's in my heart
to the person I love the most
Why do I always need
someone to support me
when I attempt a big task
Why does life
always deal me a bitter blow
just to me...
Why does everyone
always pick on me
won't anyone understand me
why can't I like others around me
enjoy the good things in life
without getting hurt
Why does all the
extraordinary things
just happen to me
Why don't I know
any of these things
Why?
