Por qué

Because I am a fool.
Because you are a fool.
Because we are human.
Because we make mistakes.
Because we forgive.
Because we don't want to let go.
Because we are afraid.
Because I
just don't know
how to do
what I need to do.

Because there are so many things to say
Because there's never enough time
Because it's unpoetic
Because it sounds needy
Because we need excuses.
Because I care.
Because you don't.
Because we know
Because we have no idea.

Because we must learn
Because we must grow
Because we must move on
Because we have no choice.

Because of pain
Because of joy
Because of anger
Because of sadness
Because the pursuit of happiness, is still just a pursuit.

Because we can never know what to want
Because we never have all the answers
Because we have no guides
Because we are alone.

Because I can't
Because you can
Because I should
Because you did.

Because is an excuse
Because is an escape
Because is just because
Because is a word.

Because I am human
Because I have faults
Because I am naive
Because I don't know.

Because we wish for so many things
Because sometimes we get them
Because sometimes we get nothing
Because belief is a strong motivator
Because belief is incredibly stupid
Because you are rash
Because you are impulsive
Because you are full of passion
Because you love.

Because we feel
Because it hurts
Because we don't want it to
Because it's going to anyway.

Because it's unmanly
Because it's not ladylike
Because you're a grownup
Because you're not that old.

Because it's never enough
Because sometimes it's too damn much
Because there are too many reasons to say
Because.
