Questions

What right have I to live a life
When other lives are lost
And who am I to rue my fortune
While others pay a higher cost
Who am I to only see
The pain I keep inside
And go on without noticing
The hurt that others try to hide
Why don't I allow my heart
To soften or defrost
And why do I search longingly
For love I know has long been lost
Is there somewhere I can learn
The answers I can't find
To the how and where and who and why
That plague my ever troubled mind
Where is the key that opens the door
To all I have to give
When I find out how to love myself
I gain the simple right to live.
