Why Should I

ThatPoetryGuy

Rhymed
Why should I
say goodbye
to the thing
that kept me from crying?

Why should you
use a lie
to subdue
my question "why?"

Why should they
get society to sway
while I stay here
with nothing but a tear?

Why should we
keep attempting to try
when all there is to see
is another heartless lie?

About this poem
