February 23rd, 2017A Poem by J.M.BetheaWhy does one wake up in a bad mood if we go to sleep happy? Why do we hate the one person we are supposed to love? Why do we care for people who do nothing but hurt us? Why do we do what's wrong when we know what's right? All questions that have been running through my mind since I could think straight. As humans I believe we do whatever seems the most painful. We know that things won't go our way but yet we force them to. We know a situation isn't meant for us, but we push ourselves into it. We know what's right for, us but the rush of what's wrong makes us follow. We try so hard to stand out from the rest that we don't realize what we are doing to ourselves. We don't realize picking "wrong" once can become a habit. We don't realize that picking to hate someone you love can make you cold hearted. We don't realize that picking what's boring over what's fun can put us in a dangerous place. We don't realize that just because we put on a smile doesn't mean we are happy. We love the trill of being at the top, and we will do anything to stay there. Even if it means not being true to who we are.
