Why?

why do you mistreat us, what drives you mad,

Is it because your childhood, which you never had?

why do you fuss, and harm thy tender soul,

and why do you punish me, like wanting to be here, was what i chose?


why are you never around, you suppose to be there you know,

are we too much to handle, if so we'll go.

and last to say, "why do you feel this way at all?"

we love you! Do you love us? so why are we against the wall.
