To Have a Because
I have struggled stubbornly since my birth
(What a massive inconvenience THAT was!)
To justify my presence here on earth
I feel like I have to have a Because
This could be from my being unwanted
Or the fact my family is haunted
Whatever the reason I have been sad
As I scaled heights and reaching them took flight
(If only to float away aimlessly)
Never enjoying whatever I had
(Although whatever I had had had me)
Because I had no time to sleep at night
And if I did such dreams as came were bad
I have to work harder than other men
Although I never make any money
I am in constant pain except for when
You think a poem of mine is funny
