Why Go This Far


Pacing back and forth

Can't figure out what's right,

I don't know what to do,

Or what I am.

Figures it's the last year,

last day, last hour.

The very last second.

But where am I going now?

Why have I been brought this far?

Nobody, nobody knows

It's all fun and games, then BAM!

You are leaving, and I have gone this far.

But why go this far?

For a stupid boy? For my long lived purpose?

I keep going.

I keep trying for this.

Nobody, nobody knows

what I have been though,

why I, of all people, have gone this far,

Just to get hurt, teased, tormented.
