Why?

Tears streaming down my face,
Got me feeling like such a damn disgrace,
Wondering why you even made me,
When all I’ll ever be,
Is a burden to you,
Please tell me what did I ever do,
To deserve all this,
All this f***ed up s***,
Just why,
Why’d Grandpa have to die,
Why does Grandma have cancer,
I just want a straight-up answer,
Why’d you guys divorce and split apart,
All it does is break my heart,
Thinking we were once all happy together,
Now I’m wondering were we ever,
Was it all fake,
Pretending to be happy for my brother’s and my sake,
Got me thinking was the divorce my fault,
Why won’t this pain just come to a halt,
Because I can’t take it anymore,
Waking up each day never knowing what’s in store,
Are there any limitations to this turmoil of emotions,
That I face each day,
I just want it to go away,
It’s been going on for so long,
Please just tell me what I did wrong,
And maybe we could make things right,
Maybe I’ll stop crying at night,
When I’m lying in my bed,
And I can’t get these thoughts out of my head,
But everyday I’m praying and hoping,
And hey I’m still coping.
