Why Am I Here? Poem by Kelsi Mancillas

This brokeness inside
Is breaking me more and more
Everyday is getting harder
My heart just grows more sore.

As I sit here and wonder
What you might be doing
I think I trick my own mind
It just gets too confusing.

Why am I here?
Why am I doing this to myself?
I just want to be with you
But you're with someone else.

Tonight I feel so betrayed
But tomorrow I'll feel the same
This feeling is overbearing
And with this feeling I'm so ashamed.

Why have you treated me the way you do?
It's tearing us apart
We're in the wrong attire
Your heart's become so tart.

Why am I here?
Why am I doing this to myself?
I just want to be with you
But you're with someone else.

As I'm here today
And I walk into the house
It's just so quiet
You can't even hear a mouse.

I walk into the bedroom
You can only imagine what I see
There's a girl laying next to you
And now you see me as I leave.

Why am I here?
Why am I doing this to myself?
I just want to be with you
But you're with someone else.

Why am I here?
Why am I here?
Why am I here?
While you're with someone else.
