Why

Why do I shelter others?
While standing in the rain
Why do I comfort Loved ones?
When they Don't see my pain
Why do I stand forever?
By those I've pleadged to love
Why do I walk the tight rope?
When push leads right to shove
Why do I look for comfort?
When everything is stone
Why do I feel compassion?
When I've been left alone
Why do I dream so deeply?
When dreams arn't even real
Why do I place my secrets?
for all the world to Steal
Why do I wait a lifetime?
When life just carries on
Why do I wait for people?
When I know thier Long Gone
Why do I vow forever?
When vows in time grow old
Why do I hold to values?
When values can be sold
Why do I honor friendship?
When friends go like the wind
Why do I keep the pieces?
When broken Hearts Dont mend
Why do I struggle upward?
to slide back down again
Why do I search for heaven?
When All I find is sin

So many questions that lay unanswered.. for an altruistic person such as you. A really well written poem- depicting disappointment at human nature. Thankfully we have a God who will provide all the answers and more in His loving way.
