How Come

HOW COME

How come beneath the surface of the soul the truth xxx"Lies"xxx but only lies come to the surface?

How come I feel perfectly imperfect, valuable but worthless?

How come happiness sometimes can be madness and love be destruction?

How come hateful words can be sometimes be viewed as love and abuse as seduction?

How come I find freedom in solitude and a friend in loneliness?

How come the ones that hurt me the most are the people I really miss?

How come I can't give up on those who gave up on me?

And how come I can't become this man that I dreamed I could be?

How come I struggle and have to do this alone?

And how come this place is no longer a prison but a place I call home?

Love
Kiyoshi
