Why Do I Even Try Poem by Brandon Bretsnyder

Why do I even try
When all I want to do is cry
With each step that I take
I continually feel as if I’m going to break
I don’t want to live here anymore
This world has taken everything that I adore
Why does this always happen to me
Why can’t anybody see
The pain I feel is unbearable
Pain most people couldn’t even handle
I’m sick of everybody trying to pull me down
I’m sick of everybody trying to make me frown
Why do I even try
When all I want to do is die
