Oh Why!?!

Oh Why!?!

A Poem by Dennis Shanaberg
"

Emo Insomnia Song

"

Trying too hard to fit in with people who don’t know who I am.

Trying so hard, but’ve realized that I haven’t got any friends.

Looking so sad--eyes drooping with too much sleep n’ no dreams.

I want it too bad, but no one will call my silly want a need.


Why can’t I be normal to a fault?

Why can’t I have friendly friends at beckoned calls?

Why am I an outcast in normal clothes?

Why have I lost every person that I’ve come to know?

Oh why?

I cry

And then I cry to myself

All night.


I’m losin’ so bad now all my cash and soon t’be my car.

I talk a big talk, but the truth is that I’ve not gotten very far.

I see my fear now, of living small and dying dry.

Used to pray: God, Why is it always this same old way?


Oh why?

I cry

And then I cry to myself

All night.


Oh why?

I cry.

Oh--now I’ve cried myself to sleep.

this has the Emo feel of a write...I see you are making a lyrical verse with this one...and the verse deals about fitting in and losing everything...and not being able to sleep...

A sad and powerful poem. I believe when we learn good to be different than follow the path of the sheep. We have gain wisdom. Hard to fit in a world with limited boundaries. A lot of emotion and thoughts in the excellent poetry.
