Why?
Why am I unique?
Why am I different?
Why was I abandoned?
Why was I born?
Why?

At first I only wanted to ask
Then I wanted to know
I long forgot
But what did I forget?
You know
Why won't you tell me?
At first I didn't care
Then I read stories
The prince had a mother
The princess had a father
Why do I have neither?
You know
But you don't answer

You say I am "special"
I don't have big dreams
Nor big ambitions
There are few things I want
Fewer than most
So Why?
Why must I be special?
At first I didn't know
I didn't understand
But then I learned

I too, like a prince, had a mother
Like a princess, had a father
My mother, like a princess, was trapped
My father, like a prince, was well-known and beloved
Yet, I, was abandoned, for my safety?
Why?

Why Mother?
Why Father?
Why aren't we normal?
Why can't we be ordinary?
Why must my future hold promise?
Why must my past hold secrets?
Why?
