Why does this journeytake a

July 29, 2013

Why does this journey

take a lifetime?

 

Why does it cause

me pain?

 

Why does it make

me hate?

 

Why does it make 

me dream, when I'm wide awake?

 

Why does it make me

try as hard as I can?

 

Why does it make me

cry when thoughts of no success hit me?

 

Why is it inevitable to avoid?

 

Why did I ever want this?

 

Why don't I ever give up?

 

Why do I keep trying?

 

Why do I have more faith in

myself than anyone else?

 

Why?

 

Because dreams come true.
