I don't understand why

I don't understand why you lock yourself up in your room

When the sun is bright and shining outside

I don't understand why you say "crying makes me feel better"

When I see a whole field vying for you to have some fun

I don't understand why you insist on following the rules

When the rules were designed for us to break them

I don't understand when you say "that's the way it is"

When I know you know there's more to the story

I don't understand why you've forgotten to dream big

When I know you entertain those imaginations every now and again

I don't understand why you eat the stale chips instead of the good

When I know you have more than enough in your "savings" to spend a little

I don't understand

I don't understand

I don't understand

I don't understand

I don't understand

I don't undersand

I don't understand at all

About the Creator

poetryinwaiting

I love all things writing...though I am particularly biased towards good, vulnerable poetry. I love pouring my heart on a page with every piece I write. Life is for expressing, not containing.
