Physically? VA.... Mentally? I'm not quite sure

Why am I the way I am?
Why do I feel the way I feel?
Why can't life be the way I want it to be?
Why can't I love the way I want to be loved?
Why is it that, no matter how hard I try,
I can never be the person I really want to be?

Why do I have to make all these choices?
Why can't I be somebody else -
Anyone but who I am?
Why do I do things to hurt people,
When I truly don't want to hurt them?
Why doesn't anyone care how I feel?

Why does everything in life have to be so hard?
Why can't I please anyone with anything that I do?
Why do I feel the need to do more,
When I know I've done enough?
Why do I feel as if I am so alone,
When I know that I am not?

Another quick one. Not very good, so please don't be too harsh.

Nicely done here. I think you summed up the whole answer in the end. Yer not alone and you know it. You just feel alone. People do care about you, at least *I* DO!!!
MUA MUA MUA!!!!!! *hugs you*
get well.

Very well written. I think that many people can be surrounded with friends and family yet still have a part of their heart and or soul missing. It's a strange feeling hard to surpass. Good luck!

Wow, it seems like you're having trouble knowing who you really are. All I can recommend is turn inward, and seek your answers. Put yourself in challenges, give yourself theoretic choices (such as Allan witht he door challenge) and see whre your mind takes you. If nothing else, talk to someone about it, I always listen to people, and don't judge. Anyway, I hope things work out, and I hope things all turn out ok.

Yes, this was a good job, but I have seen better from you. Sometimes spontanaety brings something new to poetry though... so keep writing at the spur of the moment.
I particularily enjoyed the way you wrote it... all in questions. That got me trying to answer some of them...
See you around.

You have so many unanswered questions I see
Let me answer one for you

"Why can't I please anyone with anything that I do?"

I think you're wrong on this one, cause I do love reading your posts. Doesn't that count as pleasing someone with what you do?

very strong poem
keep sharing

So long lives this, and this give life to thee." W.S.

It's going into the library so I can look at these questions over and over and go BE ANSWERED DAMNIT!!
