Life's Ups

Why don't people see others for who they really are Why do people let themselves get blinded Thinking it's gold when it's tar Why do people say yes when they mean no Why are people so scared to be themselves and instead play a role Why do people get mad when others disagree When opinions aren't facts and that's all they can be Why is there domestic violence Why can't people just learn real love Why are some people so silent And give in when times get rough Why do parents bring kids into this world when they know the child's Wants and needs can't be for filled Why do people say they'll keep a secret and leave there lips unsealed Why do people spread rumors to support there insecurities And why do people let there jealousy make them forever never pleased Why can't people learn there own worth and Why can't people learn how to bounce back when they get hurt Why can't people learn that life is full of ups and downs And you have to make the ups yell louder If you want to stay on solid ground
