Why


I don't waste my time every morning because I think it's funny.

I don't make new friends in my own interest.

I don't stay at school to practice for 14 straight hours because it's fun.

I don't play difficult music because I want to improve.

I don't walk in the frigid snow because I like it.

I don't try to be around you to make you sad or uncomfortable.

I don't put myself through hell everyday because I want to.

All of it is for you.
