Do You?

Why, why me?
What, what could you possibly want from me?
How, how did this all happen?

Can anyone answer me,...
These three simple questions,
that you make out to be so hard?
Can anyone answer them without criticism? Without resent? Without questioning?
But answer them with just a bit of thought,...sympathy,... and maybe even.... love?

Is it just so hard to try and understand how I feel when this happens? When the world just suddenly crashes down on you and you feel like you have to carry the burdens of everyone around you, and more? Do you know how that feels? Do you know how it feels to just be constantly knocked down and not want to get back up because you are in constant fear of everything around you? Do you resent everything you do, even though it was a good thing? Do you ever stop and think of what you have done over the years and say "Why, why didn't I do that from the beginning and stop so much pain and suffering?" Do you know what if feels like to know that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, that you are not good enough for this world? Have you ever felt like you just want to run away to somewhere where there is no pain, no suffering, no grief? A place with no people and just pure bliss where within the very blowing wind that touches your face softly, practically saying "It's okay now, everything is in the past as it should be." Do you know how it feels to be like you're hanging in there just by one small strand of thread and at any moment it's going to snap and you are just going to fall into a deep, dark, place where there is no hope at all?..............

If you don't know..... then think about the people that do... The people that live in constant fear and self-consciousness because of people that don't know or understand. The people that constantly make fun of them and never take in check of what they are really doing to them. People..... just like you....
