Why?

by Jacqui Armstrong   Nov 3, 2004


Why make me do what I don’t want to do?
Why make me sit and live this life through?
Why make me stay here and put me through pain?
When all it does is screws with my brain.

Why make me stay why make me live it out?
Stuck in this life stuck in serious doubt
Why make me get up each morning to this?
Telling me life can be total bliss

Why tell me that life is a gift?
When all I seem to do it sit here and drift
From dreams to reality, reality to dreams
Sitting here all I can do is scream

Why do I have to live life this way?
No friends to support me nobody to say.
“It’ll all be ok, everything will be fine”
“Your life at the moment is just as bad as mine.”

Why cant there be someone to say that to me?
Why can't there be someone who can sit and agree?
When I’m alone in this terrible place,
Can’t someone open their heart and leave me a space?

    The only answer you will ever find to "why" is "why not?"...its a question that is going to haunt us until the day we die, so its best that we don't seek answers...because sure we can find them, but that'll bring up another question to which we dont have a definite answer to...but I love how you used "why" as a concept throughout the entire poem, because as humans, that's all we really want to know..keep it up!

    Aw. This is sad. I must say, however, it was a great poem. I can relate to it, and feeling that way is no fun. I loved the words you used to describe things. This poem is amazing.

    5/5.

    Aww, Sweety. This is sad. I'm so sorry for the pain I feel. And I know this is hard to beleive, But even if you feel all alone. There is millions of people out there who feel the same as you. It took me awhile to realise that. But I do now. So keep your head high hun *hugs* 5/5
