Why

Life presents us with difficult choices.
Choices that require change.
Choices that require sacrifices.

An inner voice arises.
The fear of the unknown.
The fear of change.

Another voice asks you why.
Why disrupt the stability?
Why destroy what you worked so hard for?

More voices ask you why.
The pressure builds.
The tension mounts.

Why leave me?
Why lose everything?
What are you looking for?

You know why.
So you reply.
With the cold truth.

... why not.
