"Because"

In the shower [ myeah ], I had my mind full of thoughts. As I was looking at the ceiling, words popped into my head. I let them form this poem:

Because

I smile

Because I don’t want it to show.

I laugh

Because I don’t want people to ask.

I run

Because I want to be caught.

I cry

Because at night the feelings can’t be kept inside.

I breathe

Because I am alive.

I hurt

Because I am human.

And I live

Just because…
