But Why? Poem by Heather Rhoden

I am unwanted,
So why am I here?
I am dead inside,
So why do I have tears?

My soul is broken,
So why am I still alive?
My hope is gone,
So why won't I die?

My spirit is lost?
So is there a future for me?
My mind is confused,
So who am I suppossed to be?

I am helpless,
Is there anyone there?
I am beaten,
But does anyone care?

My world is a nightmare,
So why won't I wake?
My life is my hell,
So why do I stay?

My heart is burning,
But why are my feelings cold?
My friends surround me,
So why do I feel alone?

I am tired,
So why do I give in?
I am screaming,
So why won't anyone listen?

My wrists are bloody,
But does anyone even notice?
My blood is in a puddle,
But does anyone see this?

My body trembles,
But does anyone quiet my fears?
My voice cries out,
But does anyone hear?

I am unsure,
So why do I try?
I am confused,
So why do I fight?
