No matter your spiritual beliefs, if you hold any, the answer is the same: sometimes, why is not knowable. If you open the refrigerator door and a tub of Kozy Shack tapioca pudding tumbles out and splats open onto the floor, you clean it.

"If freckles were lovely, and day was night,
And measles were nice and a lie warn't a lie,
Life would be delight,--

If earth was heaven and now was hence,
And past was present, and false was true,
There might be some sense
But I'd be in suspense
For on such a pretense
You wouldn't be you.

If fear was plucky, and globes were square,
And dirt was cleanly and tears were glee
Things would seem fair,--
Yet they'd all despair,
For if here was there
We wouldn't be we.”
― E.E. Cummings

“Raise your words, not your voice.
It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.”
― Rumi

The pain is what will dwell within
kinda like when the drugs cry please let me in.
\Your inner soul says let me go
The drugs reply you have no control.
\The control you think,you thought you had
Face it baby you've got it bad.
\You've been in here for many months
So do it now for who can you trust.
\The drugs you took,the lines,the needles,
believe me now you will not need them.
\For he is your power,love,and soul
For you are the one with all the control.
