Why Me?


WHY ME?

Why?

Why me?

Why can’t I be free?

You’re not part of me

So don’t go bugging me.

People think I should change

But I’m like umm I aint in yo range

I am worthless

I am priceless

I am nothing to others

Except my two little brothers.

Why am I living?

People don’t care

Even though we share the same air.

My voice is silent when I  speak,

My heart stops without a beat,

Frozen in time as it passes by.

Now I’m using my own brain

 something I realize is so strange..

Why?

Why me?

Why can’t I be free?

 You don’t know me

So why are u talking

You always be stalking

why do you assume

you can abuse me?

take advantage of me?

Remember this, you don’t know my purpose

 because you did not crate me

the words you have to say don’t impact on my life.

Talk the talk

cuz that’s all you can do.

Why u tripping?

Have you been sipping?

Why have haters?

We all do

But for you… you have no clue

It feels like I’ve been singing the blues

So cold and lonely

Under this moon

I felt the same with my real dad

He left when I was little

Still in my baby cradle

Why?

Why me?

I’m so glad

I’m finally free

Every day I cry

But now it’s time for my good byes.
