Why?

She asked herself "What am I working hard for?" because no matter how much she studies, she still failed.

She asked herself "Why am I putting in effort?" because no matter how much she practises, she is still lousy.

She asked herself "Why am I still tolerating her?" because no matter how angry she gets, it never stays long.

She asked herself "Why am I feeling sad?" because she kept things to herself, bottling up her thoughts.

She asked herself "Why? Why can't I be flawless? Why can't I be perfect? Why can't I be happy? Why do friends backstab me?" Loads of questions came crashing down on her, yet she kept it to herself, suffocating herself, killing her inner self, giving up on things she shouldn't be.
