But Why?

I am unwanted, 

So why am I here? 

I am dead inside, 

So why do I have tears? 

My soul is broken, 

So why am I still alive? 

My hope is gone, 

So why won't I die? 

My spirit is lost? 

So is there a future for me? 

My mind is confused, 

So who am I suppossed to be? 

I am helpless, 

Is there anyone there? 

I am beaten, 

But does anyone care? 

My world is a nightmare, 

So why won't I wake? 

My life is my hell, 

So why do I stay? 

My heart is burning, 

But why are my feelings cold? 

My friends surround me, 

So why do I feel alone? 

I am tired, 

So why do I give in? 

I am screaming, 

So why won't anyone listen? 

My wrists are bloody, 

But does anyone even notice? 

My blood is in a puddle, 

But does anyone see this? 

My body trembles, 

But does anyone quiet my fears? 

My voice cries out, 

But does anyone hear? 

I am unsure, 

So why do I try? 

I am confused, 

So why do I fight?
