Why is a useless question

In the face of tragedy

Just breathe through it

They tell you

But you just want to know why

Why was your family chosen

Out of the sea of possible…

Victims

But they also tell you

Victim is a dirty word

Just breathe through it

They say

I need to know why

I feel its weight

The weight of why

The fate of time

I guess fate is why

But am I powerless

To the hands of time

Forcing me into place

Be patient

They say

Weight for an answer

Why
