Where the Why Is

---

You can be destroyed, can’t you?

You can die.

You can sink, crash- you can be buried.

You can be gone.

In ruins;

Heaps of rubble, piles of ash blown away by the wind.

Mentally, physically, spiritually.

But why, against all odds, are you still here?

You still laugh, still smile.

Still cry and feel human. Maybe that is the problem.

Or the solution: I am not quite sure which.

I am so confused, and yet I know that somewhere I understand

So maybe that’s the question-

Not why, that we already know.

We just have to figure out where the why is.
