Analysis of Why
Traci Mercado 1977 (PA)
Why am I even here when all I do is wrong?
Why do my tears sing the same lonely heartbroken song?
Spending every single day alone without one single friend.
Is this really the way my life is meant to end?
Such a complicated story no one took the time to ever read.
A majestic Phoenix in all her glory that no one will ever get the chance to see.
