Why Me?

Assalamualaikum

If you have to ask Why me?
When you’re feeling really blue,
When the world has turned against you
And you don’t know what to do.

When it pours colossal raindrops,
And the road’s a winding mess,
And you’re feeling more confused
Than you ever could express.

When the saddened sun won’t shine,
When the stars will not align,
When you’d rather be
Inside your bed,
The covers pulled
Above your head.

When life is something
That you dread,
And you have to ask Why me?

Then when the world seems right and true,
When rain has left a gentle dew,
When you feel happy being you,
Please ask yourself, Why me? then, too.
