The Most Important Question

December 7, 2012
By Anonymous

Why?
Why does life hurt?
Why aren't my tears dried up yet?
Why can't I just die?
Why do people care?
I'm worthless
A washed up piece of s***
All I'm good for is my brain
Why isn't it working like it used to anymore?
Why is my head always pounding?
Why are my lips always cracked?
Why can't everyone leave me alone?
Why do I keep trying for something I'll never get?
Why do I try for my world?
It's all that matters
It consumes me
It haunts my waking thought
Everything reminds me
Reminds me I'm not good enough
I try to move on
Why can't I?
Why aren't there answers?
Why do I live?

I wrote this a while ago when I was going through a period of depression, which I am over now.
