Why?

Why is it so confusing?
Why can't I make any sense?
Why are there so many things to remember?
Why am I feeling so tense?

Why can't I fall asleep?
Why won't my mind let it go?
Why can't I find any peace in the silence?
Why won't my tiredness show?

Why am I feeling so angry?
Why do I have to be mad?
Why is it 10:30 and I'm still conscious?
Why did I let it get bad?

Why can't I do things the right way?
Why can't I be organized?
Why do I have a to-do list ten miles long?
Why am I not being chastized?

Why am I writing this poem?
Why am I wasting my time?
I guess when I'm tired and angry
It helps to express it in rhyme.
