Why?

This was the first poem I ever wrote.

You said you loved me

You said you need me

Yet you leave me

Why?



Am I not good enough?

Maybe I'm not

Maybe I'll never be.



You hit me

You make me cry

Yet you say you love me

Why?



I can walk

That's what I'll do

If you come looking

You won't find me



Why?

Because I'll be living.
