Tell Me

A terrified teenage boy, ran up to me asking, "Where am I?"

"Why, you're in WA." I replied.

He just shook his head, wide eyes growing wider with fear every second. "No, WHERE am I?!"

I sighed...it's not like I haven't asked myself this question hundreds of times each day. "How the hell should I know, if you don't know yourself?"

His eyes started growing desperate with tears. "Why won't you tell me??"

I thought slowly and carefully, each word being edited by my heart. Then finally whispered, "...That's not the question. The question is, why can't YOU tell ME?"
