why is it that things get so complicated
when it doesn't always have to be
when the answer to simplicity
screams in your face?

would things have been easier
if speculation had not arisen
when all that counted was what happened
and not what you wish or want to happen?

why do words hurt so much
when a single one brings about so little meaning
but a whole bunch, when repeated, stabs you
and could almost kill?

why is it so difficult
to stop doing something you know you shouldn't
yet you want to so bad
so much so that it destroys what you deem important?

how could you rise
from when you fell?
unhurt.
