Helpless

I am helpless.
A lost soul
Searching for meaning

Wondering why...

Why pessimism creeps in when things are going well...
Why salads always taste better when eating out...
Why pain is more palpable than happiness...
Why my dog is never mad at me...
Why bad things happen to good people...

If I could, I'd get these questions answered
I'd get all my questions answered
I'd make the hurt go away for those I love
I'd get it
I'd have peace.

Until then, I'll just pray.
