Why?

Why do I run
When I want to stay
Why do I want night
When it is day?

Why do I choose one
When I want the other
Why am I with my dad
When I want my mother?

Why do I have purple
When I want pink
Why am I stupid
When I should think?

Why do I tear
When I want to keep
Why am I awake
When I want to sleep?

Why do I have nightmares
When I want to dream
Why do I bottle up
When I should let off steam?

Why do I get scared
When you say we
Why don't I see
That your the one for me?

Am I destined to be lonely
Ever to be sad
Ever to pine
For something I once had?
