When?

When did caring about people become such a burden?

When did it hurt to love?

I used to be the hopeless romantic

My nose stuck in a book

And my head in the clouds

I wanted more than dreams

Now it hurts to breath

My life is causing me all this pain


When did waking up become a struggle?

When did going to school become hard?

When did living start killing me?

I used to love

And live

And love to live


I used to dream 

And adventure 

And smile


Friends were fun

And family was forever


Life was good 

And I was happy


So when did things change?

When did I begin to burden myself?

When does the pain go away?

When will my questions be answered?

I have lots of questions. I think a factor in my depression is unanswered questions. This poem is a part of a series of poems I have called "questions to the universe"
