Such an illogical word
Full of questions
But never simple answers

Always present when times get hard
Keeping minds running
And emotions stirring

You're a word that follows grief
Perhaps anger
But always death

Hardly ever lighthearted
Always questioning
Seems to gnaw at your insides

Emotions never stifle the pain
That you seem to bring about
You're just three tiny letters

Learned to pronounce
At such a young age
But never fully learned to answer

Such a short word
That I can't find an answer for
Why?
