Why Me?

Why do I always seem to be,

The one with troubles constantly?

With every step I take in life,

There's always something causing strife.

I ask myself time and again,

Why must I be the one to bend?

Why do I have to bear the load,

While others sail along the road?

Is there some purpose to this pain,

A lesson that I must attain?

Or is it just a cruel twist,

Of fate that I cannot resist?

Sometimes I feel like giving up,

Throwing in the towel and saying enough.

But deep inside I know it's true,

That struggles make us strong and new.

So though I may not understand,

Why life has dealt me this tough hand,

I'll keep on fighting day by day,

And trust that things will be okay.

For life is full of twists and turns,

And every lesson that we learn,

Is part of who we're meant to be,

A stronger, wiser, more resilient me.
