Why Should I
Why should I have to walk in your shoes?
 There is no fairness in this decision.
 I can’t make sense of this new style;
 I should not have to break this silence.
 
 Since when have friends not been enough?
 What happened to movies, scooters, bikes?
 Nothing seems to be enough anymore
 not for you
 Now I must be swept away too?
 
 In the end its your decision
 I know and accept the truth
 But in the end I doubt you will listen
 my words like tears will fall;
 glisten.
 
 When I do choose to voice my convictions
 The way you look at me:
 Amused, knowing,
 As you easily rehearse
 “I used to be the exact same way
 at your age. You’ll change.”
 But now you are nothing like me.
 
 How can I even pray to endure
 An endless wash of sick adherents
 This endless accepting of just not caring
 Walking down halls,
 alive,
 with dead staring.
 
 I used to trust you with all my heart,
 hallowed, devoted, revered, 
 Its now your choices that tear me apart
 render
 Everything I was sure of.
 When you take that shot
 That hit
 Do you really think anyone cares?
 You don’t.
