The Reason by Kimberly Coverly

My life is stressful

            I despise it so much,

            The sudden lull,

            Deprived from his touch.

            Why go through such pain?

            I could give in to temptation,          

            Focus only on vain,

            Change my location.

Because my life is worth more

To love someone, who continually closes that door.

The Reason by Stevie Smith

My life is vile

         I hate it so

         I’ll wait awhile   

         And then I’ll go.

         Why wait at all?

         Hope springs alive,

         Good may befall   

         I yet may thrive.

It is because I can’t make up my mind   

If God is good, impotent or unkind.
