Why


Who am I? 

I don’t know anything.

I don’t know who I was or who I will be

I don’t know if I’m ok or if I’m broken

I don’t know why I have problems

No evidence and no solution.

Alone and scared but indifferent

Why is this happening to me?

Why?

Why are my days dark and gloomy

Why am I scared if my own shadow 

Why can’t I find happiness no matter what?

Maybe I should stop caring.

Maybe.

But I won’t.
