Why Can't I?

Why can't I make sense of a simple chart?
Why can't I say what's on my heart?
Why can't I say no to what I don't want to do?
Why can't I feel pride when the day is through?

Why can't I get over the pain of the past?
Why can't I answer the questions people ask?
Why do I lie to make myself understood?
Why can't I do all the things that I should?

Why can't I keep my house clean at all,
why can't I finish a task, no matter how small?
Why can't I fix what's broken down?
Why can't I turn my life around?

Why can't I make myself understood?
Why can't I seem to do anything good?
Why can't I keep my mind focused at all?
Why can't I stop staring at blobs on the wall?

Why can't I stop caring what others think of me?
Why can't I start caring what I want to be?
Why can't I stop remembering he put me through?
Why can't I stop feeling bad for the things I can't do?

Why can't I let go of what I cannot fix?
Why can't I ignore folks and their politics?
Why can't I just live and let others live too?
I think that's what I'll do.
