Because

Too many “Why’s”

And not enough “Because’s”

“Because” is not a “Reason”,

Merely a weak “Excuse”.

My life suffers from a dearth of “Reasons”,

Yet the “Why’s” continue unabated.

Each “Why’” begets another “Why”

And I refuse to accept “Because”

For an “Answer”.

A tsunami of “Why’s” approaches

And I grow “Fearful”

Just “Because” I do.
