I Don'T Know

WHY!!!!!

No one understands

But,
The ones who try.

It’s hard…
To live a life
When all is a lie.

It’s tough to play the good guy
With many people against ones back –

To mess with the emotions,
Make others confused…
To the point,
It’s hard to follow.

But,
Soon to be
Hard to care –

To keep going

WHY?!

To still fight.

When, everyone says it isn’t right,
Yet,
That doesn’t stop the fight.

From day to night
Through thick and thin…
It is something
That if tried….
It can win.

So when no one understands

There will always be that one
Who will stand by and also try
To understand
And help the losing stand up and win.
