Why

Why do we write a long poem?
When a thought just takes a moment

Why do we shiver at the thought of something?
And describe it as a rodent

Why do we judge one another?
Like we dont even care

Why do we turn around?
When we know there's no one there

Why do we take lies?
When we really want the truth

Why dont we just stay young forever?
And express our inner youth
