Why

Why
Get up
Get dressed
Go out
Work
Love
Be vulnerable
Be honest
Be open
Just to get hurt again
Just to be alone again
Just to be reminded again
I'm not like everybody else

Why
Pretend
Pose
Clean the dishes
Just throw them away
Start all over again
Buy new clothes
Just get worn out again
Answer the phone
No one there that matters anyway
Read the paper
Just more death and destruction
And reminders of what can never be

Why
Why not?
