"Wash me in the river! Wash me away!"


Poem Artwork

Because Because Is

It hurts us so to be misunderstood
I hope you found what you were looking for
That is if you remember what it was
It hurts to reach so hard yet not be good
Enough (and then to only reach the more)

And when we cry we find out just because
But what because is we may never know
Except to be together as we go

Wash me in the river! Wash me away!

It hurt me so to be misunderstood
I never found what I was looking for
Nor can I now remember what it was

I enter another river today
But this is where I entered once before

Take me home river! Take me take away!

Because because is what we never know
Except to be together as we go

Well written. It does hurt to be misunderstood and yet we all are at one time or another. About because because is... My parents used to "Just because." I would often answer, "why because?" Then I would get an english lecture. Oh well. That was then.
God Bless,
Lew

the double because is quite awkward to say but it does bring an almost lyrical element to the piece.

when ppl cry and you ask why and they say 'just because' as if that is an answer... as if you are in their head and know everything thats going on and therefore they dont feel they need to explain whats going on to you... its interesting... and sometimes we never know what just because means and we feel like ppl dont trust us but i dont think so...

the way you jump from 'you' to 'i' to 'we' is interesting and a little confusing... i'd almost encourage you try stick with one of them

did you know that if you say 'because because is' quickly it sounds like a meal i adored when i was in ethiopia!? haha... interesting little fact for you =)
