Can Anybody Tell Me Why Poem by Max Soon

Can Anybody Tell Me Why



Can anybody tell me why,
Am I looking at the velvet sky,
Stretching my hand with all my might,
Reaching for the distant light.

Can anybody tell me why,
Does everybody just walk by,
And present a smile so so sly,
Don't they know we're living in lies?

Can anybody tell me why,
Am I backing away from reality,
Engulfed in my own world unconciously,
Where there is never accompany.

Can anybody tell me why,
While all I wanted to do was to cry,
All i could do was force away my tears,
Out of wailing sorrows and trembling fears.

Can anybody tell me why,
Am I standing in the shivering rain,
With my fragile heart struck numb with pain,
Am I to this world, a disdain?

Can anybody tell me why,
Can't I soar freely in the sky,
And look at this world from up high,
With a calming peace of mind.

Can anybody tell me why,
although so many times I try,
although so many times i cry,
I never get a sensible reply.
