I Don"t Know Why

I Don't Know Why

I don't know why

The sky can seem so blue like the open seas

And then turn quickly thunderous to me.

I don't know why,

The voices in my head refuse to be heard

And yet the importance of their words,

Are so profound, so deeply ingrained

In the meanings of the world, yet it seems insane.

I don't know why

The things that I see,

Are only visible to me,

(Or at least in my general audience of family and friends)

But I see them over and over again.

I don't know why

So many have to die in pain,

When there is a much higher plane:

At which they are arriving-- unaided by man

But I can only lend them a hand

To hold them on their exit from this dimensional world

And leave their shell here among us curled.

I don't know

Why the forces of good and evil battle so,

Except for our souls you know,

But can't the good guys win this time?

Don't others ponder this or is it soley mine?

I don't know

Where I'll be tomorrow or today

In sorrow or anger, or mania or depression astray,

Pacing or lethargic, I just can't predict

The state of mind my brain chemicals pick.

I don't know

Why I can't get a hold of this beast

And make it behave itself and feast

Only upon ME instead of those I meet

For I never know the nature of the beast.
