Why?

Why'd I have to grow an active soul,
I was so close to keeping the status quo.
Why'd my heart have to rebel,
I was so close to doing nothing notable.
Why'd my mind decide to talk back,
I was so close to refusing to act.
Why'd I have to overcome my apathy
I was so close to just not caring.
Why'd I have to want to change?
Because by choosing the pain
I kept myself from staying the same.
Why'd I have to want to change?
It was better than staying the same.
