Why?

 Why?

Why do I do the things that I do?

And why do I bother to ask the reasons why?

Can't I just be happy about what the future brings

And let the past just slip on by?

That simple 3 letter word is full of trouble.

It's the plain and simple truth.

The answer comes in so many forms.

Will it be pain, will it be joy, will it be a lie?

Can I handle the truth?

What is why? 

What does it mean?

What am I asking? 

Why is a purpose or a reason it seams.

When excited, one might exclaim with deep indignation

or "Oh, that's absurd!"

or "Oh, you think so!" 

yes, why yes

Let's go? 

Maybe so

Why do I do the things that I do?

And why do I bother to ask the reasons why?

Can't I just be happy about what the future brings

Ad let the past just slip on by?

Holding onto yesterday keeps fear in my heart.

It's a choke hold on my emotions telling me "Don't even start."

And why oh why do I listen?

I don't understand.

How this 3 letter word keeps such a hold on me 

Like nobody else can

But now I wonder

Does it all really matter?

All this information I've collected in my heart of hearts

Sometimes why just took up all of my energy and precious time

When my knees should have dropped me to the ground

And eyes fixated toward the sky

All my why's turn to cries

like wings on doves

I let them fly

Let go of why

Finding my freedom

Living for Yeses now

Forward is the future

Even the smallest steps will get me there

I see happiness in letting go of yesterday

And all those why's that told me "No"

The new day is calling

The new dawn is here

How many yeses can deliver?

A new day is here
