Why?

Why?

Why is my mind torturing me?

What have I done

that raged it this much

to kill all the nerves

and all the feelings

each one held?

 

Why?

Why are you doing this?

Is there something you want to tell me?

A secret that lingers

on the end of your tongue,

that can’t seem to fall off.

 

Held by darkness

is that secret.

It’s kept from me

for a reason,

I believe,

for a purpose

far ahead,

thousands of miles away,

at the far end of the earth.

 

Perhaps I’ll see

the reason behind it one day,

hold your hand,

and thank you for your patience.

 

Your patience that stayed

in the worst of them all,

in the raging storms

and the brutal fall

that held me down,

in a sore body

that felt firm to the touch.

 

Why are you doing this?

An answer I’m waiting for.

Convince me

with a proper reason

why you’ve chosen to

demolish all these innocent minds.
