Million-Dollar Question

Why am I so sad?

Every day I go to sleep,
hoping I wake up feeling light,
refreshed
and happy the next morning.

Every day I wake up feeling
the same as the day before:
sad, lonely and hopeless.

Why am I so sad?

"I don't know why you're so sad," my loved ones tell me, time after time.

Wouldn't I like to know the answer to the million-dollar question?

Maybe then I would wake up feeling whole again.
