Why do you do that?

And they inquired,

“Why are you doing that?

What drives you?

What are you trying to achieve?

Is it a need or a sense of duty that spurs you on?”

I felt bewildered,

Uncertain of how to respond,

And tears welled up,

Out of frustration with my stupidity and lack of understanding even self

And then

Looked up to them

I said what came from the heart:

“I just can not

Stop being

Myself”.
