Why?

That’s all I want to know.

Why do you have to be this way?

Why do you feel the need to do those things?

All your doing is destroying yourself, your family, and the dreams that you once had.

All I want to know is, is it worth it?

Is the feeling of being able to do anything, really worth the consequences?

Worth giving up everything you ever had?

A loving family, supportive friends, a future, and your health?

All I want to know, is why?
