Why Do We Try Poem by Natalie Taylor

why do we try
so hard not to die?
when every day we cry
or sigh?

days pass us by,
a quick hello, goodbye
so why do we try
so hard not to die?

worrying about health
fretting about wealth
when we all get ill
and the occasional bill

the lack of sleep
that makes us weep
we chase our dreams
or thats how it seems

who is a friend?
is it a person from whom we lend?
who is the enemy?
is it the people who dont have two pennys?
