Why Is That? Poem by Kayla Jacobs

Why Is That?



while others accept my fake smile and laughs
you ignore them and want to know what's really wrong
why is that?
when others look at me and think everything is alright
and you take one look at me and i burst into tears
why is that?
when others see the me i want them to see
you see the me i don't want anybody to see
why is that?
when others call me mean things
you protect me like i'm a precious doll
why is that?
when others play with my feelings
you sit there and wrap them back up for me
why is that?
others want something from me
you want to be with me
why is that?
while others want to harm me
you want to take care of me and protect me from harms way
why is that?
why is it that every time i look at you all i see is the love reflected in your eyes?
why is it that you’re the only person that sees the real me?
