WHY ME?

Why does everything I despise
Happen to me?
Why do the tears always fall
From my eyes?
Why am I always teased about
Who I am?
Why am I the one
Who's always left behind?
Why does everything go everyone else's way,
Yet never mine?
Why am I the one who has to
Dodge the bullet?
Why do I always have to fight to keep
Myself from going insane?
All this causes pain,
And I must ask,
Why me?
