Why? Poem by Samantha Williams

Challenges all the time.
Temptation by your side.
You follow what you know,
Through endless sands and times.

You think you beat it, but you don't know.
Is it still here, will you ever know?
Time's passing by too quickly.
Death hovers here so bleakly.

Why can't you see what happened?
Did time refuse to show you?
Is time what's holding you behind?
Are tears still streaming down your eyes?

You're not alone, but you don't care.
The answer's just not there.
Why don't you care?
What happened there?
Is it just too much to bare?

Why follow what you know,
If nothing's there to aid?
You need a lending hand,
Why don't you ask and pray?

I'm here through everything,
But I'm not who you want.
You want the one right there.
The one who knows you well.

I'm only your subconscious.
I can only give you this.
You need a lending hand.
The one who knows you well.

I'm here through everything,
But you still need some help.
I cannot guide you anymore.
I do not have the strength.

So set upon your own embrace,
To find your lending hand.
To find your only hope.
To find the one who truly knows.

You'll find out why, you'll find out how.
You'll find out just in time.
No need to cry.
No need to die.

Just sit and listen well.
Your lending hand is coming by.
Just sit and wait instead.

Don't fight to find the answer.
Don't fight to find the truth.
Your lending hand will guide you.
Your lending hand will fight beside you.

You'll understand the reason why.
You'll understand, there's no reason to cry.
And after this your lending hand,
Will leave you in the sand.

That sand will change,
And so will time.
And in it, ...
You'll know the reason why.
