Why do I not stand up and fight? <br />Why do I always go back to that night? <br />I act like I'm so strong and I can take it all. <br />But how much farther until I start to fall? <br />My life really isn't that bad. <br />So what if I don't have a dad? <br />It's never mattered before. <br />I want to know what opened that door. <br />What made me feel this way? <br />All I want to do is run away. <br /> <br />The cuts on my lefs let me know that I feel. <br />I thought time would help me heal, <br />But I guess I was wrong. <br />Why do I allways have to be so strong? <br />I want someone to know my pain. <br />I don't want to do this again. <br />I want someone to care. <br />But all they seem to do is stare. <br />Why do I always care what people think? <br />Why do I always end up so close to the brink?<br /><br />Michaela Perkins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-do-i-20/
