Why?

Why?

That's all they ever ask me is why.

Why do you do it?

Why do you think it's worth it?

They think that when I go silent I'm just shutting them out

It's sad that they don't realize that it's simply because I don't know the answer.

I don't know why I do it

I'll I know it that when I do I don't feel numb anymore. It gives me some kind of addicting power that feels like I'm actually in control of something.

Maybe that's why.

Maybe there is a reason

Maybe just maybe

Yet I can't bring myself to tell them that. I just stay silent and hope that they'll leave and forget what they saw......just like everyone before them did.
