Why

Why does misery 
Always love company?
Why is it no matter
Where you go or what you do someone trys
To bring you down
With them?
Why do we allow them too?
Why can't we just 
Stand up to them and
Say stop?
Just because they 
Are miserable does 
Not mean we are or 
That we want to be?
Why is it someone 
Always brings you 
Down before you can 
Bring them up?
It doesn't have to 
Be this way,
So why do we allow It?
Why is humankind
Less likely now to 
Stand up for what 
They feel, what 
They believe than 
Ever before?
All these questions 
And more I do not 
Have answers for. 
So for now, all I 
Can do is ask why?
