Summary of the poem if you have to ask why me? when you’re feeling really blue, when the world has turned against you and you don’t know what to do, when it pours colossal raindrops, and the road’s a winding mess, and you’re feeling more confused than you ever could express, when the saddened sun won’t shine, when the stars will not align, when you’d rather be inside your bed, the covers pulled above your head, when life is something that you dread, and you have to ask why me? . .
