Why?

Looking around
not seeing anyone I know,
I sit here alone
thinking of things that are wrong like:

Why people laugh when you fall,
dying to push you down when you stand up again?

Why people need to think you are weak,
Maybe to show they aren't?

Why do people run away
When all you want to do is talk?

Why is the world a hard cruel place
if everyone is looking for acceptance and friendship?

These are questions I might never find the answer to,
but these are things I try not to do.

Why indeed

I think if only more of us asked these questions we might find the answers...you've captured and illustrated that fact well in this poem, I love it ♥

Much appreciated

I just don't get why people are like this if the all want friendship and acceptance. Thanks for commenting. It is much appreciated.

So true

I know, it makes you wonder, doesn't it? And it's my pleasure to comment ♥
