Why

by Hallucinostic   Mar 2, 2011


Everyday, as time passes by,
I hear my heart beat so low,
And I don't know why love's been cruel to me,
Oh, love is cruel to me,
Give me a reason.

Everywhere, people around me pointing fingers so badly,
And I ask why they've been so cruel to me,
Oh, they're so cruel to me,
Give me a reason.
But I'll get by with my head down.

Everyday, life keeps taunting me wherever I go,
And I wanna know why life's been cruel to me,
Oh, life is cruel to me,
Give me a reason.
But I'll get by with my head down.

Everyday, I keep trying,
But this time I know,
The tie that binds had been too cruel to me,
I was so cruel to me,
I am the reason.
But I'll get by with my head down.
Yes, I'll get by with my head down.
I'll get by with my head down.
I'll get high, now I know why.

    I like the title because it's really eye-catching. Evereybody has these moments when they're just asking why things are happening to them, the way they do or at all. It reminds the reader that the situation your poem will refer to is similar to one they've been in themself.
    I like that you started the poem the way you did because time passing by is a really usual thing, which daily happens, so seems your heart beating slow to have become something usual. I think that's already really strong because usually special people that mean a lot to you will be able to increase the hearts pace, but obviously love either took that person from you or never gave you the possibility to meet them.
    I like the use of repetition in this poem because it underlines the speakers frustration really well and the conclusion you came to, I didn't see that coming. I thought that this is a really well written, heartfelt and absolutely sad poem.
