This Is Why! Poem by Pamuditha Zen Anjana

This pain inside,
it decides to reside within
within every single millisecond
that I think of trying to stay away
away from you

This love inside,
it fights hard to break free
free from this jail of a heart
takes pretty much every breath
every breath to hold it all inside

I try, I die and I come alive
the circle continues
and then comes the pain again
again to start all over
and decide to reside within.
