I wonder why
My heart is aching
I wonder why
My heart is breaking
I wonder why
My hand is shaking
I wonder why
The earth is Quaking
I wonder why
My heart is open
Yet my soul is closed
I wonder why
They think I am who I’m not
I wish it was yesterday
For my mind could be open
For you could see me
For what I really am
For I was always glad
And never mad or sad
For I see how the world works
It works in ways
That challenges you
I Wonder why
You can’t see
That i have changed
For the best
I wonder why
People can’t be happy
With the new me?

This is a good piece, i like the repetition at the beginning, and the last line of the first stanza, because it seems to stand out, and puts emphasis on the actual non-rhyme of it. Then it seems to me, you explain yourself in the next stanza, I like that. THanks for sharing this, and good lcuk. XxX

Welcome to AP
Deep and seems personal. A bit repeatative for my taste so may I suggest next time different ways to say the same thing or express it. A thesaraus really helps me in sticky spots
maybe i am just vocabulary challenged though
