Analysis of Thoughts
As I sit alone and wonder why.
My mind fills with thoughts and
questions arise.
Why do certain things happen
to those you hold dear?
And why don't they happen to
those who cause fear?
What makes things right,
when sometimes it feels wrong?
How come it's harder to forget
than to forgive?
And who has the right to
decide who can live?
Why are there days you feel
you've nothing to give.
And why do some people have a
stronger will to live?
Is there a reason some get as
sick as they do?
While others live thier life with not
even the flu?
How is it there are those who
are carefree?
Those who haven't a clue?
While some are always miserable?
And those with so much intelligence
they don't know what to do?
These are just thoughts that float through my mind.
The answers to these questions one day I may find.
