Why? Poem by Tanya Marshall

Why do people ignore you, but in their time of need turn you?
Why do you help everyone when they tell you not to take on the world?

Why do we expect so much?
Why does it take so long to notice we have hurt the ones closest to our hearts?

Why do we bite back so hard on all those uncried tears?
Why do we live in a world of pain and lies?

Why do we keep how we really feel, unheard and useen for so long until it's imbearable?
Why does self appearance matter so much and personality so little?

Why do we care only for popularity and not life in itself?

Why do we lie to ourselves saying the world is fine, when it's dying before our eyes?
Why do we wonder why the people of this world are dying, when we know the cause?

Why do we ignore the truth until it's to late?
Why is it that we worry and stress over things that are irrelevant to our lives?

Its because we are human.
