The Reason by Whitney Osburn

My life is lovely,

                Or so I thought,

                Until someone came along,

                And taught me a lot,

                Loving can be such a risk,

                To fall so hard and then get pissed,

                You feel so happy and get so mad,

                It’s like your loving and don’t understand,

It is because I fell in love,

That today I sit here broken.

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.
