Why

This has been an awful year
I've cried way to many tears
I've seen my life flash before my eyes
and felt as if I wanted to die

My dog got sick and later he died
All I could do was cry and cry
My friend won't speak to me anymore
So I went home and cry somemore
Kids at school pick on me
Why can't they just let me be?

My parents yell, my parents fight
I try to keep them together with all my might
I'd try and run but theirs no where to go
I want to cry and be alone

Why can't everyone be friends?
Why do lives have to come to an end?
Why can't the world be a perfect place,
Where no one fights and no one hates?
