Why? Poem by Blessing Kalamatila

I dont know who needs to answer this but why?
why does this keep happening to me?
I mean, Hope whispers and tells me the best is yet to come but how is it that no matter how hard I try and become better,
I always end up with the worst outcome.

How come we are taught how to Love others first?
maybe thats where the problem sterns.
See! its one thing to learn and another to accept but we expect those whom we show the most afftection to reciprocate and when they dont we get hurt,
So in the end we don't know what to feel except cry.

Why! I mean why is it soo hard to say goodbye?

Yes! it's no secret that we all gonna Die; so if the grave awaits us all and one day the clock stops on us,
then it only makes sense to make the most out of this borrowed time but half the time we spend on things that shoudn't matter,
like how we engange ourselves in these intricate traps we call "entanglements"robbing yourselves of a chance to open that new chapter because of certain entitlements and you wonder why your love story never ends with a happily ever after.

Why is it soo easy to make a bride than it is to make a wife?
I mean why should beauty only be seen on the outside?
I guess the answer to this is in hindsight but whatever happened to character and a good reputation?
tell me, why the average guy can't gather enough confidence to talk to a dime in hopes to have nothing but a good time?
cuz He's afraid of rejection.

Maybe why shouldn't be the question cuz frankly I am embarrassed but how are we ok with the imbalance in morality which our social norms throw into background and is rendered antiquated?
Excuse my honesty but why should a lady lower her standard just to feel accepted?

Depression exists but only because people no longer care
You ever stopped to think why suicide is committed even by the strongest of Men? well it's because He'd rather bottle His emotions than share.

So why! I mean Why is true Love rare?
Why do people get married but continue having affairs?
Why is life soo unfair and why should I even care?

I swear I dont get why we fail to make amends,
why the truth is always kept hidden and we choose to pretend,
why we have to loose just to win in the end
or why nowadays you got to really know who to ask help from be it Family or Friends.

Why is there soo much desperation?
See! this generation will mock you for being Normal it's like we all adolecents and when you are no more,
even those you consider close will fancy a sad emoji over a message of condolences.
