Answer Me This

Answer Me This

A Poem by Travis Prino

Why does this pain always build up inside?

Why can't this hurt go away for all time?

Why am I left with so many questions?

Why are there things that I can't even mention?

Why do I feel like the world's growing stronger?

Why do I feel I can't take this much longer?

Why do I sit here and think of the past?

Why does my life go by me so fast?


please tell me why

I've been left here to die

and now I cry

cause no one's by my side

please tell me why

my life has been a lie

and now I sigh

and choke on all my pride

please tell me

why


Why does my mind play games with my heart?

Why does it pick all the pieces apart?

Why does my heart then play games with my mind?

Why am I stuck in this world undefined?

Why do I feel like I'm all by myself?

Why doesn't anyone offer me help?

Why is it so hard to find all the answers?

Why was I brought to the world with this cancer?


please tell me why

I've been left here to die

and now I cry

cause no one's by my side

please tell me why

my life has been a lie

and now I sigh

and choke on all my pride

please tell me

why


Why doesn't anyone know how I feel?

Why is it so hard to know what is real?

Why is it I'm always here on my own?

Why can't I find the cure for alone?

Why am I tormented by all these demons?

Why is it no one can find me a reason?

Why does it seem there is no other way?

Why do I ask myself why everyday?


please tell me why

I've been left here to die

and now I cry

cause no one's by my side

please tell me why

my life has been a lie

and now I sigh

and choke on all my pride

please tell me

why


just tell me

why

now tell me

why

please tell me

why

why.

Just a little caveat to my writing, 95% of what I write are lyrics so excuse the length and repetition and don't be deterred by that. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment. more..
