Analysis of The Reason Why

Mitch hagen 1992 (Vancouver)



I need to find the reason why,
I walk this earth alone.
I need my life to find a purpose,
And a place to call home.
I've searched within and deep inside,
And lost myself again.
I've cried alone amid my shame,
I can't withstand this pain.
What are friends? Where's my family?
Not a soul to love or trust.
It's desolate in this cruel reality,
Feel less than a spec of dust.
I've grown to be so easily forgotten,
Standing in plain sight.
I've strayed away from who I was,
I've lost my inner light.
I need to find the reason why,
Happiness does not exist.
I need to stop getting high,
But this craving will still persist.
If I ran away from here,
I can't promise I'll come back.
I might as well already be gone,
From this life I've become detached.

Mitch hagen

To put things blunt, I'm currently in active drug addiction. Have been since I was very young. The poems I write reflect my struggle but also my fight. I like to write about my feelings, family, friend's, and of course my addiction. I put a lot of thought into each poem and each and every one was written from deep inside my soul. I hope you enjoy them, if you do or you don't please don't hesitate to leave some feedback. Born in Vancouver BC Canada, raised in Prince George BC Canada, currently living in Edmonton AB Canada. more…
