I don't Understand


I don't understand

why stress comes along,

why pain is essntial to life,

why torture is common,

why loved ones die,

But most of all I dont understand...

why millions die each and every day,

why people you desire "move on",

why hatred is necessary,

why people have such huge ego's.

What I do understand is why some dont care,

why all we yern for is attention being good or bad,

why death seems easier than life,

and most important is why pain never goes away,

but enstead we become immune to the effects as if they're life.
