Because

because the illness has changed you,
there are no good days or bad,
all of them are mixed.


because you roll over and turn
from the day and hope that
the night falls.


because dreaming fills you with
who you used to be and then
your eyes open to what remains.


because being awake is a constant
reminder of why you fight so much,
you are known as a prick.


because you can stand in a mass
of people and still fall
into your dreams.


because that song you long for is
not as dirty or as filthy
as you think.


because you've fucked up and so
has everyone else around
you.


because you're 'sick and tired'
doesn't mean you have to
stop fighting.


because you are who you are
and people still talk
to you.


because your eyes hold
secrets as well as
your lips.


because tomorrow really
doesn't matter as much
as today.


because you never stop asking
questions or pushing
ideas, just


because.
