Why?

A Poem

By Sarah YeatsPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

Why?

Why am I expected to be so perfect?

To never have a single flaw

To never be different

To never do anything wrong

Why?

Why must I always stay composed?

To never show my sadness

My emptiness

My anger

Why?

Why do I always have to be the outsider?

To never have a place

To never fit in

To never be normal

Why?

Why cant I just be me?

To be happy

To laugh

To smile

Why?

Why is there so much wrong with me?

So much darkness

So many voices telling me

I'm not good enough

I'm not loved

I'm not pretty enough

Why?

Why can't I just be okay?

Why can't I just fix me?

Why?
