Why?

Well, here we go...

Why?

The question we all want answered

Why this? Why that?

We think in our minds why anything would happen

Overthinking,

Starting to destroy our self,

Wanting to leave yourself,

Eating away at yourself,

Wanting to hide away from everything, why?

Why,

Becuase that is the one question we normally can't answer,

The one we try not to answer,

What we don't want to answer,

And the one we avoid at all costs

When we are ahsamed, we make our whys

A borrowed why

One we didn't want to explain

So we masked it underneath all the pain

It doesn't matter if we broke their heart

Or lost a friend

As long as we don't have to answer why in the end

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

We shouldn’t have results if actions as a ‘why’- rather as an understanding of trying to figure out life otherwise it’s a form of regret- we will never understand and know the answers to everything but through acceptance things will fall into place answers appear out of nowhere and then we wonder ‘why’, did I ever wonder ‘why’? Loved it makes you think , enjoyed reading🌹

Thanks for your feedback! I agree we should focus on life, yet we (including me) focus on the whys too.

We do but it’s part of the journey - life teaches us but it’s up to us to learn- blessings🌹

I agree, no one can make us do anything, we have to be willing to do it.

A very profound and riveting read. Loved the stanzas and poignant viewpoints of the very powerful one word called why. Great work. An intriguing message as well. :)

"Why's" can definitely be a hard question to answer. There is a lot of truth in these words that I relate to. Wonderful poem. :)
