Reason Why (lament of a soul)

by Kalikala Smith

pushed farther
trapped deeper
in this box
i don't think it'll hold
my anguish
my tensions
overflow,
and i'm left here all alone.
why don't i
just kill me?
just put my life all away.
it's stupid
don't tell me
i should just sit down and pray.

i want a reason why
everything has changed.
i want an answer to
the reason why.

my father
my mother
who's to blame
i don't think that it's fair.
my terror
my trembles
open up
and i'm left here all alone.
why don't i
just kill me?
it would be easier that way
but it's stupid
it's jaded
and i should just sit down and pray.

no more hiding now
(i'll let it all come out)
no more lying now
(not another face in the crowd).

i want a reason why
everything has changed.
i want an answer to
the reason why.
