Why? Poem by Jesse Ellsbury

Why?



When I see my world is fading,
Beneath mine eyes that still hold gazing,
One thought that does occur to me is:
Why?

When I see my friends betraying,
As one by one they keep on saying
That they are still my friends:
But why?

When I see my strength is ebbing,
Despite my tries to keep from stepping,
Into the abyss that is my mind:
But why?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The first poem I ever wrote. I was 14 and bored on the bus home from school and the first two lines came to me. It was only natural to write them down.
