Why they ask

people always ask me why;

why I talk to people at night while they cry,

why I try to talk people out of wanting to die,

why I let people hug me as they cry,

why I try talking people out of telling a lie

so to those who ask I say;

I was them one day,

I was the one wide awake at night crying,

I was the once the one who dreamed of dying

I was one alone as I cried,

I was once the girl who always lied
