WHY?

Why...
It's such a tiny word... Just three little letters. ...W...H...Y... Have you ever noticed...it's always a question... Never, ever an answer.

Seems these days...
All I want to know... Are the answers to WHY questions.

WHY did he go?
WHY didn't he just stay home? WHY did he drink? WHY did he take that long drive? WHY wouldn't he listen to a friend?

Have you heard enough yet?
WHY...this?...WHY...that? WHY?...WHY? So many WHY questions...UNANSWERED.
They keep popping into my head...
One after another. Never stopping...Never ending. My brain working overtime... Trying to sort them out. Trying to find just one... That has an answer.

They are swimming around... Invading every part of my mind. There is nothing else to think of... Nothing Helps.

I yearn for the promise of a tomorrow...
Without tears...without heart ache. With a mind free of WHY's?

But that tomorrow never comes.
Tomorrow ...like today... I walk around in a daze. How much sorrow must one endure?

WHY... it's not the only word...
That needs answers. WHEN?...WHERE?... HOW?...WHAT?... WILL?...CAN?... Many of those questions... are also...UNANSWERED.

Will the answers ever come?
Will he go away... just a boy... And return an angry, resentful man? Will that boy ever emerge again? I can only PRAY & HOPE for a MIRACLE.
