Why?

by ~*^*~ longing to belong ~*^*~   Aug 18, 2004


Walk in the door, wanting to take flight,
Hit by a wave of disapproval,
Seems I can’t do nothing right,
Try to talk, words stick in my throat.

Run up to my room, remember times of peace
Hide behind piles of homework,
Wishing for all the pain too cease,
Why do I wait for the volcano to erupt?

Dad, you come home and what does she say?
That I have been silent,
Not played with my sister at all today,
Why did she put it like that?

There was a time when you stuck up for me,
Believed me and understood my fears,
But now you say I always lie- I don't see,
Why can't I ever be good enough for you?

I will see anger in you forever,
Burning in your eyes so cold,
You both stick together,
Why you leave me on my own?

Walking on a tightrope scared of falling once again,
The rope snaps, I’m falling further than before,
Got to get away this time I’m going insane,
I want to run, run, run.
WHY? WHY? WHY?
