Why must it be this way? .. <br /> <br />Pain and fear conquering each day <br /> <br />Why, do you fake a smile? <br /> <br />The only one awake, <br /> <br />free of denial <br /> <br />Why can't we let it rain <br /> <br />Pour the truth, <br /> <br />Why must the answers remain oh-so aloof <br /> <br />Why do we try <br /> <br />Why do we care <br /> <br />Is anyone listening? <br /> <br />Is anyone there? <br /> <br />You may ignore me, <br /> <br />or cast me aside <br /> <br />Regardless in your thoughts <br /> <br /> is where I'll reside <br /> <br />A loaded gun <br /> <br />full with bullets <br /> <br />A strike, one strike <br /> <br />A second our less <br /> <br />Pulling the trigger this world is a mess <br /> <br />Why can't we be happy <br /> <br />Why must we be sad <br /> <br />Living in a world <br /> <br />that is so fucked up <br /> <br /> so bad <br /> <br />Who pulled the trigger…? <br /> <br />Was it you or me <br /> <br />No it was neither <br /> <br /> just repercussions; society <br /> <br />We killed our earth <br /> <br />mother nature herself <br /> <br />Hiding our tears <br /> <br />Killing with stealth <br /> <br />But what was the point? <br /> <br />What have we done? <br /> <br />Can this be the truth <br /> <br />the truth which we shun <br /> <br />Ending it all <br /> <br />though it's just begun <br /> <br />What is next <br /> <br />the moon or the sun? ! <br /> <br />Why can't we admit? <br /> <br />Just give it up, <br /> <br />just quit it! <br /> <br />Before it's to late <br /> <br />Before we send earth <br /> <br />to the pearly gate. <br /> <br />Nonetheless it must be fate….<br /><br />Lara wolf<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poem-written-in-6th-grade-this-world/
