Understanding

Sometimes I don't understand myself
I don't understand the thoughts that come into my head
I don't understand why they appear.
Sometimes I wonder why bother living,
When dying is so much easier.
I can't comprehend what keeps people going
I can't figure out why I go through each day.
I know I sound emo,
But think about it.
Why do you struggle each day?
Is it because of the "after life"?
Is it because of the "next life"?
Whatever it is, I'm not enlighten.
Why keep suffering,
When in return you only get a crumb of happiness?
Some people say the joy you get after the pain
Is all worth it, but why?
When the pain is so much greater.
At the time, the happiness is overwhelming
But after the light fades, what's left but darkness?
Most people live without thinking,
They just go about the way people tell them to
That's the way it starts and that's the way it ends.
Sometimes I don't understand why.
Yet I still do because.
Because of no reason, that's why.
Maybe it's just me
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one.
The only one who feels a certain way,
A way that no one else understands.
A feeling that can't be comforted.
A feeling of being completely alone in a world full of people.
And that feeling, I don't understand.
