The Reason Poem by Jamal Downes

the reason why its so easy to smile
the reason why I always have a number to dial
the reason why the sky is a deeper blue
the reason why every color is a richer hue
the reason why food smell so edible
the reason why life has become so incredible
the reason why life has a different meaning
the reason why the reason why it feels I'm beaming
the reason why no troubles trouble me
the reason why I have no problem being me
the reason why there is a purpose to wake up
the reason why I now like women with makeup
the reason why French fries taste so much better
the reason why I never fell deeply in love
the reason why I now have a full understanding of me
the reason why I can't be me if there are no we
the reason why when I sleep I anticipate the next day
the reason why really is Because of you
