Why do we do it?

Why do we keep ourselves from what we want most?

Why do we continue to do what we absolutely hate?

Why do we let other people, walk all over us?

Why do we let them crush us underneath their very feet?

Why do we keep it all inside?

Why do we cut and hurt ourselves?

Why do we keep living if it hurts us so much?

Why do we laugh for people when all we want to do is cry?

Why do we not stand up for ourselves against the people that push us down?

Why do we keep saying we're alright to the people who care?

Why is it that we think that who we are isn't good enough?

Why haven't we just killed ourselves?

Why hasn't anyone noticed that we need them?

Why is it that we hate every aspect of ourselves?

Why do we think that we're just trash?

Why does it feel like we're drowning in our bad thoughts?

Because WE want a better tomorrow, we want to be able to say I MADE IT, we want to see a day when WE AREN'T ALONE. WE HAVE a want to get better. We have a part in EACH of us that scream to be happy, one day you want it to be let out. We want to be more than any OTHER. You want to know that YOU ARE SPECIAL. You just want to know, that IT WILL GET BETTER. You want to tell yourself, I AM strong. You want to see a day that makes you want to be HERE. You want to get what you were sent here FOR, YOU want a happy life to live.
