sometimes the world makes no sense

you try so hard
to make one small dream

a reality,
and the world says

no.

why not?
tell me, why not?
you can't just say no
and not tell me why.

so why.

help me understand,
because the more I wonder
the more I begin to think it's because I don't

deserve it.
I don't, do I?

I don't.

Don't worry world,
you don't have to sugarcoat this shit for me.
I got the message loud and clear.

The optimist in me quietly says,

It's just not in your path.
Something better
will come.

Quietly.
Bullshit.
Louder.
Bullshit.
Yelling.
BULLSHIT

Silence.
