Why Do We

Why do we think too much 
Of the day we've yet to touch?

Why do we get stuck on a path
And not make a quick restart?

Why do we let worries haunt us
And not try to come out of fuss?

Why do we give a lot to other's view
And not hear within one, so true?

Why do we not live in today
And just let ourselves feel free to play?

Why do we not do our task first
And avoid our mind's endless thirst?

Why do we hesitate and wait
And not let life take us through its gate?
