Why?

 

It's a simple question with many answers,
but do we ever really hear the whole truth?
Have we heard every reason?
Every story?

 

For our sake,

I hope not.

Short. Simple. And extremely mysterious. Wow.

This was actually a major stylistic change from the way I usually write to challenge myself so I'm glad you thought it had any redeeming qualities! I appreciate the constructive criticism greatly!

Huh... Well, not necessarily my cup of tea (I prefer longer, more in depth poetry), however, it is certainly an interesting piece. From a more objective standpoint, this piece may perfectly convey your emotion towards the question why in an effective manner. Still... I feel that with the question "Why" there tends to be more answers that raise more questions, and so it may deserve a longer poem to it. All in all, its a great short piece, but it could use some improvement.

I have a feeling you and I think the same way. Just a feeling. Pay no mind to me.
