WHY?
Why
 When life is at the breaking point
 And you can't seem to move on
 When life around you is filled with hate and fake smiles
 And there's no where to turn
 You're left to question
 Why?
 A simple word that says a whole minds thinking
 When you know you're not the child you're parents always wanted to make you to be
 To see the ones you once loved using and hurting you without second thought
 It all comes down to
 Why?
 When all confusion flutters in
 And you're not sure of anything
 God seems so far when he once seemed so near
 Family memebers like ghosts with no thought of how you feel anymore
 To see guys hearts you once cared fo rturn to stone towards you'
 And in the process others as well
 Why?
 When life puts you down 
 And you're at the lowest of lows
 The only way seems up
 But as you begin to climb up it seems you keep getting pushed back down
 You wonder
 How do I become lifted?
 You sit in a pool of tears and no one seems to care
 Why?
 You like to think things happen for a reason
 Yet how could they
 When all you feel is hurt
 And you're hearts split open in pain
 Why?
 Yet you mask yourself looking up with a smile
 Trying to not let others see
 Trying to look at the best of things
 And in the end you may be down and asking
 Why?
 Yet one day when you finally reach the top
 You may see you needed all that
 To end up where you are, who you are
 And when other are down asking
 Why?
 You can be the one to extend a reaching hand to pull them up into loving arms
 And tell them while they may need to hear
 You're there and you love them.
 There are those who have already climbed the hole
 Who now are reaching down to you
 All you have to do is reach up.
