Reason

I had made a YouTube video for this poem. It is my first. ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEOhKuVYNvc

Is there a reason    

Is there a reason     

We are who we are    

    

Is there a season    

Is there a season    

To become who we are     

    

Why does it have to hurt     

Our heart is given to love    

 A tear trickles from an eye    

Longing of what was and now denied     

    

Can you tell me please     

What is the reason     

    

I have read sonnets     

and listen to songs     

I have hoped and wished     

and I have longed    

    

I sit here and wait    

In this calm state     

Waiting for the answer    

Is this meant to be     

did he really see through me     

  

I have tried many, many times    

Many ,many ways and still I sit     

    

Who has the answer    

 or is there an answer at all    

Who allowed us to love    

Just lose it all     

    

I will stand up and brush myself off,     

 continue this existence of mine    

Until the next time I sit again     

to contemplate     

what is the reason     

for the soul
