“I don’t understand why?
Why me? Why now?
Why does everything happen at once?
We fall apart, just like that.
Everything was fine, then it all turns to dust.
I don’t understand why nothing feels right?
Why I can’t fight for my rights?
Why do my days melt together like snow?
It hurts me to know
That you might not make it below.
This horrible time in our lives,
Day by day, night by night.
Will I ever understand?
Will this feeling ever end?
Can the frayed be made amend?
I can’t talk to anyone.
I can’t let it out.
I’m gonna blow up, I gotta get out.
Can you hear me?
Restore my peace?
Why? I don’t understand.
Please put the broken pieces
Of my life back together and attend
To the needs of my screams.
Someone listen to me, please.”

Because of the pain your still carrying, you will continue to hurt anyone that reminds you of those moments when you let your guard down and were fooled.
