I have thus been convinced that life is rigged.

I only want a few things.

I never ask for the world.

But everything I ask for leaves me in a heartbeat.

There. And gone, leaving me with a fleeting memory.

What have I done to you, life, to have you retaliate this way?

Why, life, why?

Can't I have the one thing I want, more than anything?

Why, life, why?

Why do you have to take everything away from me?

Why, life, why do you have to hurt so damn much?

Why?
