Why
I don’t know if you’re out there,
In the heavens or in the skies above.
My mind is killing me,
but I will show you, love.
15 is such a long chapter
And empty meanings fill the page
Society’s candle:
Burn’s me at every age.
I’ve heard stories of you,
Always a different face.
I’ve got 7 billion siblings,
So why do they all care about race?
You’re praised every day,
And some people say you live in the stars.
I think that’s absurd.
Then again I don’t really know who you are.
If you’re so perfect,
Why all the hate, discrimination, and pain?
Drugs and Violence!
It’s enough to make a kid go insane.
I’m not one to ask for help.
A lot of people just pass me by.
You’re the root and cure for anxiety,
So all I ask is why?
