All the 'whys'

I pulled out my inner self,

To talk about 'whys',

The 'whys' I have picked up,

From my mundane life.

So many 'whys',

I wonder why.

To resolve some such 'whys',

I looked at inner self for some replies.

WHY? Oh! Why are there chasms

That keep pulling me in?

Why can't I get over the 'whys' and secure a win?

Why are there questions hanging in the air?

Why do I have to answer their stares?

Why is there so much indifference?

Why don't they spare me a glance?

Why am I being hounded by these 'whys'? 

Why don't I get rid of their sighs?

My inner self stayed stoic, unforthcoming.

And why not,

It is but another part of myself.

Those 'whys' are for me to delve,

And so, I wind around,

To the glaring 'whys' that surround.

To you, I will not bow,

Drown me in your swell, 

I will not allow.

To your entity,

No more my fate will tie,

All you 'whys'....... GOODBYE
