Why?

What is the truth?

By Rose MayPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Why ask just to refuse,

then dance only to bruise?

Why seek beauty to abuse,

then love just to lose?

-

Why speak just to get the words wrong,

change yourself only to not belong?

Why stay the night just to leave at dawn,

hide the pain just to seem strong?

-

Why do we live only to die,

promise the truth then tell a lie?

Why laugh then start to cry,

say hello just to say goodbye?

-

Things I wonder in this mind of mine,

why suffer just to say you're fine?

Why look just to stay blind,

say you'll stay just to leave me behind?

-

Why swear peace then break a tooth,

grow old only to miss your youth?

Why fear death just to tie the noose?

Now I think I know the truth.

-

Life's a game

and death’s to blame.

Loss is pain

and love’s the same.
