Why

Sometimes, when my heart feels like it is going to burst from watching, hearing, touching sadness I have to ask why?
Why am I doing this?
If you were to ask me why, I would say "because I can".
Kids are going to die. If I walk away from them, they are still going to die. Me turning from this desire I have because it is too hard and too painful is not going to change their lives. Me being there will.
But it is not easy. It is hard and it is messy. It is raw and it is unfair. It is utterly terrifying and unimaginably beautiful.
