3 o'clock in the morning
My body yearns for an explanation
-Why can't you go to sleep-
Just go to sleep.

See its not that simple...My brain wanders at night, to the places it shouldn't.

At school
My brain yearns for an explanation
-Why can't you pay attention-
Just pay attention.

I wish I could. No matter how hard I try, my mind rejects the ideas.

Sitting with friends
They ask for an explanation
-Why are you so sad-
Why am I so sad?

Oh how i wish i knew. Better yet, i wish i knew just how to fix it.

On a date
My boyfriend asks for an explanation
-Why are you so quiet-
Why cant I find the words to explain.

How do you find the words to explain and unexplainable question.
