WHY?

WHY IS LIFE SO HARD? I ASK,

AND NO ANSWERS COME TO ME,

NOT FROM INSIDE, OUTSIDE, UP

OR DOWNSIDE. WHAT CAN THE

ANSWER BE?

WHY CAN WE NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO,

NOR WHAT TO SAY, OR BE?

THE HARDNESS OF THIS LIFE, IT SEEMS,

DEPENDS A LOT ON ME.

WHAT DO I DO THAT MAKES IT HARD?

HOW CAN I LESSEN THE STRESS?

I KNOW, INSIDE, WHAT MAKES A BARD

BE UNDER SUCH DURESS.

YET, HOW TO MAKE LIFE EASIER?

THERE JUST NEVER SEEMS TO BE

AN ANSWER THAT IS RIGHT AND CLEAR,

AT LEAST, IT'S NOT FOR ME.
