I Wonder
I wonder why I am the way I am
But then I don't eat, don't sleep, don't talk to people, don't say how I feel
I wonder why it's an addiction
But then I turn to it anytime something goes wrong
I wonder why I can't keep people
But then I overstep boundaries, annoy them when they're busy, and unload my problems on them
I wonder why I don't tell the people I say I trust
But then I remember the tears and the threats and the promises they said they wouldn't break
