Why can't I Close my eyes without seeing All the Images from that night Why Can't I? Why can't I Walk down the hallways Without getting made fun of Just because I chose not to care Why Can't I? Why can't I block out every word they say Every Freaking Word Why can't I? Why can't I Be strong without feeling weak Because the feelings you can't see Are the only feelings that matter Why can't I? Why can't I Be myself... Be Different for a Change Guess this world is too scared of that Why can't I? Why can't I Make a difference in someones life Just because they may be black And I may be white Why can't I? Why can't I Just say one word Without being drowned In a sea of them Why can't I? Why can't I See the comedy In this tragedy Because if there isn't any comedy Why the hell are they laughing at me
