Why is it snowing
what am I thinking the
principal just came
in and he said
I want you in my office
what am I doing here
how did the world
start why did I wake up
in my brother's dirty laundry
why am I alive why does
it have to be me that
has to be getting glasses
why don't I be the one same as everyone
why am I a foster kid
why didn't mom be
normal why were we
so poor why does she like drugs why
don't I live in a
normal family why don't
I have any friends
why do I think of so
many things
why am I not like
everyone else why is
everyone smarter than
me why don't I know
my parents why doesn't
mom and dad want me
why didn't they want
us why don't I know how to swim
why are my ear
tubes taken out
why do I write so big why
is it snowing these are
things that I am thinking of
in my head.
